Dow jumps by more than 500 points at peak, putting blue chips on track for best day since March
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was trading sharply higher midday Tuesday, putting blue chips on track to book the best one-day gain since March. The Dow was up about 492 points, or 2%, at 25,739. If it holds the gain would represent the best point and percentage climb since March 26. Tuesday's rally was partly on the back of a surge in shares of component UnitedHealth Group Inc., which was delivering a roughly 70-point jolt to the price-weighted equity gauge. Share rises for UnitedHealth come after the health-care company raised its full-year earnings outlook and said it continues to see growth in health-care plan membership and premiums. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index was climbing 2% at 2,804 and the Nasdaq Composite Index advanced by 2.6% to 7,620. Wall Street investors appear to be focusing upbeat earnings, including those from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. , Johnson & Johnson and Morgan Stanley .

Wall Street's 'fear index' on track to fall by the most in a one day since mid February
The Cboe Volatility Index VIX, a measure of implied volatility on Wall Street, fell nearly 16% to just below 18 on Tuesday, putting the index on pace for its sharpest daily drop since February, according to FactSet data. The decline in the VIX to around 17.94 puts its on pace to mark the largest one-day stumble since Feb. 14. The move comes after the VIX hit its highest level in months to close at 24.98 amid a broad rout for equity benchmarks. Wall Street's so-called "fear index" is a measure of bearish and bullish options bets on S&P 500 in the coming 30 days and tends to fall as stocks rise and vice versa. Both implied and realized volatility have been surging in recent days. Tuesday's gains came as the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 500 points, the S&P 500 index climbed 1.9% and the Nasdaq Composite Index was trading more than 2%. Last week, investors reacted to a recent surge in government bond yields, with the 10-year Treasury note yielding 3.26%.

Glazer believes last week's scare makes right now an "opportune time" for investors to rebalance their portfolios.

S&P 500 retakes 2,800 mark intraday amid broad stock-market surge
The S&P 500 Tuesday afternoon regained its purchase atop a psychologically significant level at 2,800, on the back of a health-care and technology-inspired stock rally. The S&P 500 , most recently, was up 1.9% at 2,802, returning to a level the broad-market benchmark lost grip on during a nasty Oct. 10 rout. The S&P 500 has declined seven of the past eight sessions (not including Tuesday). Tuesday's gains were broad based with all 11 of its sectors trading solidly higher. The day's rally comes amid apparent enthusiasm surrounding a batch of quarterly corporate results from UnitedHealth Group Inc. , Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and others that were seen as upbeat and reaffirming the vitality of earnings and an economic expansion that has thus far underpinned market gains. However, last week investors drove shares lower on fears of rapidly rising interest rates, which equate to higher borrowing costs for companies.
