U.S. Stocks Regaining Ground After Yesterday's Sell-Off WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - Stocks have shown a strong move back to the upside in morning trading on Thursday following the sell-off seen in the previous session. The major averages have all climbed firmly into positive territory. In recent trading, the major averages have reached new highs for the session. The Dow is up 401.05 points or 1.2 percent at 33,988.71, the Nasdaq is up 192.40 points or 1.5 percent at 13,224.08 and the S&P 500 is up 50.63 points or 1.3 percent at 4,113.67. Bargain hunting is contributing to the rebound on Wall Street after the steep drop on Wednesday dragged the major averages down to their lowest closing levels in over a month.
