Stock market rallies after rough start Monday


Markets fell dramatically on Monday morning but rallied in the afternoon, CNBC reported.
In what CNBC called a "stunning comeback," the Dow Jones Industrial Average "closed up 99.13 points, or 0.3 percent, at 34,364.50, gaining for the first day in seven."
The Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 4.9 percent earlier in the day but closed up 0.6 percent, marking the first time since the 2008 financial crisis that the index finished up after falling more than 4 percent.
