US STOCKS-Wall St rises as tech shares rebound after Huawei reprieve
Shares of technology companies helped push Wall Street forward on Tuesday after the United States temporarily eased curbs on China's Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, alleviating investor concerns about pressure on future corporate results in the sector. U.S. President Donald Trump added Huawei to a trade blacklist last week, leading several companies to suspend business with the world's largest telecom equipment maker, a move that could weigh on their sales.

Apple expands keyboard fix to latest models
Apple Inc. on Tuesday expanded a service program to address keyboard issues to include its newest line of MacBooks, suggesting the tech giant has yet to work out design bugs for its so-called butterfly keyboards. Back in June, Apple said it would replace damaged keys or entire keyboards for free on MacBooks with defective butterfly keys going back to 2015. The keyboards use a "butterfly mechanism," or V-shaped underpinnings rather than an X-shaped scissor connection for the keys, to allow for a thinner keyboard. On Tuesday, Apple expanded the program to include its latest 2019 model MacBooks, and said it was changing a material used in its butterfly keyboards. The change coincided with Apple's latest MacBook Pro release. Apple shares were up 2.5% at $187.69 last check, while the S&P 500 index was up 0.9%.
