Major stock indices climbed on Tuesday as investors eagerly anticipated key market data expected later in the week that could offer insights into the Federal Reserve's policy direction. While the dollar gained ground, oil prices slid.

In geopolitical developments, Venezuela's main opposition leader, Maria Corina Machado, expressed her intention to return home swiftly, lauding U.S. President Donald Trump for ousting her adversary, Nicolas Maduro. The Trump administration is set to meet with oil executives to discuss increasing Venezuela's oil production.

Market optimism was further fueled by expectations of U.S. interest rate cuts, with traders eyeing a significant U.S. employment report due on Friday. This sentiment was reflected in the rising stock indices and a slight boost in the dollar index.
