13/06/2012 03:39 AST  Business Times

US stocks bounced back on Tuesday, reversing the previous day's losses while shrugging off the spectre of more turmoil in Europe.

Commodities, industrial equipment makers and banks led the market higher, while United Technologies was the Dow's only loser, falling 0.3 percent after announcing a new US$1.0 billion capital raising move.

At the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 162.57 points (1.31 percent) to 12,573.80.

The S&P 500-stock index added 15.25 (1.17 percent) to 1,324.18, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite surged 33.34 points (1.19 percent) to 2,843.07.
