Bargain Hunters Boost Nasdaq

Wed., Sept. 20, 2000

From Staff

Technology stocks rebounded Tuesday on bargain hunting, giving the Nasdaq composite index its biggest gain in more than two months.

But blue chips struggled through a volatile session, unable to recover from a monthlong slide prompted by anxiety about corporate profits and rising prices.

The tech-dominated Nasdaq rose 139.12 to 3,865.64, its largest advance since July 12. But the Dow fell 19.23 to 10,789.29.
