US stocks pared losses Tuesday, extending a streak of volatile trading after last week’s bounce snapped the longest span of declines for the S&P 500 in over 20 years.<\/p>\n

The benchmark index bounced back from a drop of more than 1% to turn flat, attempting to build on its best week since November 2020. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.2% after climbing back from a nearly 400-point drop, and the Nasdaq Composite turned positive, up 0.3%.<\/p>\n

These moves come after all three indexes logged weekly gains of more than 6%, clawing back from seven consecutive losing weeks for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq and eight weeks of losses for the Dow.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and Ethereum (ETH-USD) also rose Tuesday amid a broader relief rally in cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, oil futures charged higher amid reports Chinese authorities were poised to end a two-month COVID-19 lockdown in Shanghai and an agreement by EU leaders to stop purchases of crude oil and petroleum products from Russia. WTI crude oil futures climbed 3.6% to $ 118.70, while Brent crude oil futures rose 3.7% to $ 123.83.<\/p>\n

Shares of movie theater giant AMC (AMC) jumped as much as 10% in early trading following the debut of TOP GUN during Memorial Day weekend. US theaters saw an estimated 122% year-over-year increase from last year’s holiday weekend, AMC said in a statement Tuesday, underscoring positive signs of a post-COVID recovery for the industry. The pre-market moves place AMC shares on pace for a fourth straight day of gains after the stock surged nearly 40% in the past three sessions.<\/p>\n

Wall Street’s latest rally comes on the heels of a favorable batch of quarterly earnings in recent trading sessions which helped temporarily mitigate concerns over the toll of inflation on corporate profits. Signs from recent economic data that prices were peaking also helped buoy sentiment.<\/p>\n

Still, stocks are sharply down for the year, and some strategists have been skeptical about whether a bottom has been established.<\/p>\n
