EmailThe S&P 500 closed Tuesday on
stronger footing after tumbling as low as 2.2% in early morning trading.
Discouraging price action in foreign markets and some disappointing earnings
contributed to early negative sentiment, but the benchmark index gradually
recouped intraday losses, finishing lower by 0.6%. There was a prevailing sense
that the morning's sell-off had left the market in an oversold condition on a short-term
basis.
