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

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