Wall Street rebounded  as investors pinned their hopes on policy easing by major central banks

Wall Street rebounded on 10th March (Tuesday) as investors pinned their hopes on policy easing by major central banks after global markets plummeted in the previous session on fears of a coronavirus-driven recession. Traders now expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates for a second time this month, with President Donald Trump adding pressure to bring U.S. rates down to the level of "competitor nations". After strong gains at the open, all three indexes briefly traded in the red, as investors weighed the effectiveness of additional monetary stimulus to combat the virus outbreak. The indexes quickly reversed course to trade higher again as a report said the Trump administration had discussed a 90-day payroll tax suspension. The utilities and consumer staples commonly considered bond proxies were among the biggest decliners, after showing resilience in Monday's rout. Rate-sensitive financial stocks firmed 1.2 percent as US Treasury yields bounced off record lows.
