stocks rallied for a second day, rebounding from the biggest monthly
drop in a year for the Standard & Poor™s 500 Index, as a surge in

S&P 500 added 1.4 percent to 2,049.98 at 4 p.m. in New York,
climbing above its average level for the past 50 days. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average rose 304.98 points, or 1.8 percent, to 17,666.02. The
gauge is up 2.9 percent over two days, the most since Jan. 8.
The
S&P 500 rebounded 1.3 percent Monday as a rally in crude sparked
gains in energy shares. The index lost 3.1 percent in January, the worst
performance in a year, after reaching an all-time high on Dec. 29. The
two-day rally has trimmed the gauge™s decline for the year to 0.4
