Stocks jumped about 2% at the open Tuesday as Wall Street rebounded from Monday's 588-point drop in the Dow in a stock market rout that sent all the major indexes into official correction territory.
On other, more important news:
The People's Bank of China said the rate for a one-year loan will be cut 0.25 percentage point to 4.6% and the one-year rate for deposits will fall to 1.75%. The central bank also lowered the amount of crash reserves Chinese banks are required to hold.
Yes. A major US newspaper with writers who graduated from top-notch schools misspell CASH. Instead, they put CRASH.
The announcement was made after the close of Chinese and other Asian markets, which were volatile Tuesday as Chinese stocks plunged again and Tokyo markets also fell sharply after earlier rebounding. The Shanghai composite index declined 7.6% to 2,964.97. The index is now below the psychologically important 3,000 level.
