The Dow Jones was trading at 51,511.59 points, up 0.48 percent, at 11:48 a.m. ET on October 6, according to The Economic Times. The advance followed a 0.18 percent gain to 51,267.90 points on Monday, as recorded by Yahoo Finance.
Yields and oil support equities
Retreating Treasury yields and lower oil prices provided the main market support. The 10-year Treasury yield slipped to 5.29 percent, while Brent crude fell below USD 98 a barrel, Yahoo Finance reported. Earlier coverage from Reuters also linked the equity advance to easing yields and retreating oil prices.
Next market catalysts
Wednesday's calendar places the focus on rates and energy data.

The minutes are expected to provide detail on the discussion behind the September policy decision, while weekly U.S. crude oil inventories are also scheduled for 10:30 a.m. ET, according to Schwab Network.
