NEW YORK -- Global stock indexes rallied on Tuesday and US stocks registered their biggest one-day gains in 5 months as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell seemed to open the door to the possibilit

y of a rate cut, while yields on US Treasuries rose.

"Investors are taking comfort in what appears to be a Fed that is contemplating cutting rates if the economy materially slows down," said Michael Geraghty, equity strategist at Cornerstone Capital Group in New York. A bounceback in US internet-related stocks helped the equity rally following a sell-off in those names Monday that was tied to worries about a clampdown on the world's internet and social media giants.

The pan-European STOXX 600 index rose 0.59 percent and MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe gained 1.37 percent.
