Stock market today: Wall Street rises as tech stocks and oil prices steady themselves

U.S. stocks rose following better-than-expected profit reports from Morgan Stanley, United Airlines and other big companies. The S&P 500 climbed 0.5% Wednesday, a day after sliding from its all-time high because of tumbling energy and technology stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.8% to set its own record, and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.3%. Exxon Mobil and other energy producers stabilized a day after tumbling with the price of crude oil. Stocks in the chip industry also held up better a day after a market-shaking warning from Dutch supplier ASML. Treasury yields eased in the bond market.
