Stock market news today: US stocks rally at open as rebound set to continue

US stocks rose early Wednesday as investors looked to build on Tuesday's rebound that snapped a three-day losing streak for the major averages. The benchmark S&P 500 rose nearly 1.3% while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was up almost 2%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose about 0.5%, or nearly 200 points. Global markets continued to recover after a 12% drop in Japan's Nikkei on Monday sent shockwaves worldwide. The Nikkei rose 2.5% overnight on Wednesday.

Ahead of last week's sell-off, the VIX had been trading in the teens, though had been on a steady climb for much of July. The earnings and economic calendar remains relatively sparse, with the weekly report on mortgage applications expected later Wednesday morning serving as the most notable piece of economic news.
