Facstset Chart on market 

U.S. stock indexes rose on Tuesday, edging ahead for a second day as a combination of better-than-expected earnings and an easing of turmoil in U.K. markets lifted investors’ confidence.

The S&P 500 climbed 0.9% while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.9% and the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite moved ahead 0.8%, paring earlier gains.

The moves come a day after the major indexes soared. Big swings have become commonplace for U.S. stocks, with the S&P 500 closing up or down at least 2% in the past three trading sessions.

Even with some runs higher, all three indexes remain in a bear market, defined as down 20% or more from a recent high.

In Treasury’s, the yield on the two-year note was recently 4.414%, from 4.454% late Monday. The 10-year yield was 3.990%, from 4.012%.
