Wall Street climbs as markets follow Covid 19 trajectory in China

US stock indices rose on Tuesday as markets continue to follow the pandemic situation in China, the world's second largest economy. 

Such protests broke out in China after imposing new restrictions in many areas where Covid 19 has spread once more.

Additionally, authorities noted the first drop in infections numbers in China in a week.
