(AP) -- Stocks finished broadly higher on Wall Street Tuesday, erasing the market's modest losses from a day earlier.
Energy companies led the S&P 500 higher as the price of U.S. crude oil moved briefly above $60 a barrel. Oil hasn't closed above $60 a barrel since November.
The S&P 500 index gained 20.10 points, or 0.7 percent, to 2,818.46. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 140.90 points, or 0.6 percent, to 25,657.73. It briefly climbed 279 points.
Even with last week's stumble, U.S. stocks remain on track to finish the quarter with solid gains at the end of this week. The benchmark S&P 500 index is up more than 12 percent so far in 2019, an unusually strong start to a year.
