Stock markets in Canada and the U.S. ended with triple-digit gains on Tuesday, recouping some of the huge paper losses investors incurred in the previous day's big market rout.
At the close of trading, the S&P/TSX composite index was up 115 points at 12,120. Almost every sector was up on the day, with energy and financials up by better than one per cent. S&P/TSX composite index 3-month chart
