US stocks bounce after two down sessions

Author: Monitoring Desk

Wall Street stocks bounced early Wednesday after two down sessions following another round of earnings that included good results from Starbucks and CVS Health. Shares of both companies rose following the reports, with Starbucks reporting record quarterly sales on strong North America sales and CVS seeing an 11pc jump in revenues due to broad-based growth. The early gains Wednesday marked a reversal from Tuesday, when rising tensions with China over House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan and hawkish Federal Reserve speeches rattled markets. About 20 minutes into trading, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.7pc at 33,624.42. The broad-based S&P 500 also gained 0.7pc to 4,121.60, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 1.2pc to 12,496.37. Among other companies reporting results, chip maker Advanced Micro Devices fell 2.7pc despite beating analyst expectations. Analysts pointed to disappointment with the company’s third-quarter projections.
