What happened

Tuesday's rally was historic for several reasons.

Why it matters

The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S & P 500 scaled to all-time highs, thanks to a decline in oil prices and strong earnings reports from companies such as Caterpillar and Palantir Technologies.

Common ground

While the Nasdaq Composite did not reach a record, it did log its fourth straight daily gain of 1% or more.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
