Wall Street's main indexes rose on Tuesday, supported by gains in technology and financial stocks, looking to rebound from declines in the previous two sessions driven by global growth worries.
The financial sector rose over 1 percent in early trading and was set to snap a five-day losing streak, as yields stabilized.
The benchmark 10-year Treasury yields rose off 15-month lows and a closely watched part of the yield curve was less inverted on Tuesday.
An inversion of the U.S. Treasury yield curve on Friday added to the global economic slowdown worries, triggering a selloff in stocks over the past two sessions.
"The fact that markets were beaten up so much on Friday, people were looking at the yield curve and the stock market selling off and thought things were getting weaker, but that panic phase may have passed," said Scott Brown, chief economist at Raymond James in St. Petersburg, Florida.
"The growth worries were probably a little overdone but that is certainly going to be an ongoing concern."
The technology also gained over 1 percent, propped up by a nearly 1 percent gain in Apple Inc, a day after the iPhone maker unveiled its video streaming service, a credit card and an online gaming arcade.
