U.S. stocks rose Tuesday, climbing on the strength of fresh inflation data showing prices rose less than expected last month.

The S&P 500 (^GSPC) advanced by 0.7%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) added 0.3%, while the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) rose 1.0%.

Stocks fluctuated throughout the day, paring significant early gains in the session before ending comfortably in the green. The session's jump came after data from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics showed prices in November rose 0.1% over the prior month and 7.1% over the prior year.

Tuesday's data was seen by investors as potentially encouraging for the Federal Reserve to ease off its aggressive rate hikes early next year. The Fed could start down a slowing rate-hike path as soon as Wednesday, when it concludes its two-day policy meeting and will announce its latest hike.

Following the inflation data and amid the subsequent stock rally, the dollar tumbled against most major currencies and bitcoin (BTC-USD) surged, rising as much as 5%.

Yields rose, with the yield on 10-year Treasury notes up as much as 9 basis points to around to 3.52% Tuesday after dipping to 3.45% earlier in the session.
