Stocks bounced back Tuesday, halting a three-day decline. The Dow rose 0.76%, the S&P 500 climbed 1.04%, and the Nasdaq gained 1.03%. All sectors were positive, with tech giants Nvidia and Meta up 3.8% and 3.9%. Japanese stocks also surged, with the Nikkei 225 soaring 10.2% after a steep loss. Elevated volatility is expected as the yen carry trade unwinds. Despite Monday's sharp sell-off, fundamentals remain strong, per Baird's Ross Mayfield.
