Stock market rallies after rough start Monday


Markets fell dramatically on Monday morning but rallied in the afternoon, CNBC reported.

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.
