U.S. equity markets clawed back the lion's share of their previous day's losses as stocks battled back after the Dow suffered its steepest one-day decline in almost nine months.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 550 points, or 1.62%, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 1.52% and 1.57%, respectively. The strong gains came a day after the Dow lost 725 points, booking its worst day since October, as a resurgence of COVID-19 infections and ongoing inflation concerns rattled investors.
