Relieved investors sent stocks sharply higher Tuesday after Russia pulled troops back from the border of Ukraine. The rally erased steep losses from Monday caused by fears of an escalating conflict.

RISING TIDE: The gains were extraordinarily broad. Five stocks rose for every one that fell on the New York Stock Exchange. All 10 industry sectors in the S&P 500 average rose.

RELIEF RALLY: The volatility comes after the S&P 500 closed at a record high on Friday, then posted its biggest decline in a month on Monday. That has left investors trying to figure out whether stocks are overvalued or whether they reflect an improving economy.
