The broad markets have made a solid recovery from a massive drop on Tuesday and Wednesday. Although crude oil is not helping out much, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 are trading up just below 1% for each. The question remains whether the markets bottomed with this drop.
It is worth mentioning that a few earnings reports did hold back the markets in this trading session — notably Verizon, Philip Morris and Travelers. But more strong earnings reports for the first quarter could drive markets even higher.
