U.S. stocks rose sharply at the open on Tuesday, looking to add to their gains from Monday’s session, which saw the Nasdaq Composite log its biggest percentage-point gain since July. Investors attributed the strong appetite for risk to more strong corporate earnings reports. The S&P 500 SPX advanced 81 points, or 2.2%, to 3,759. The Nasdaq COMP gained 288 points, or 2.7%, to 10,963. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA climbed 619 points, or 2.1%, to 30,804. Shares of Dow components Johnson & Johnson JNJ, -0.23% and Goldman Sachs Group GS, +4.36% both rallied after reporting third-quarter earnings.
