Wall Street stocks bounced early Tuesday, recovering some of the losses from the prior session's rout, in anticipation of stimulus measures to address the economic hit from coronavirus.

A few minutes into trading, the Dow Jones Industrial Average stood at 24,773.66, up 3.9 percent or around 920 points. The index lost more than 2,000 points on Monday.

The broad-based S&P 500 surged 3.6 percent to 2,845.76, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index advanced 3.6 percent to 8,237.01.
