Stock and oil prices rebounded in volatile trading on Tuesday, leading to gains in all of the indices. OPEC and Russian oil industry officials continued discussing a possible partnership to reduce the world’s oil glut. Meanwhile the U.S. central bank is expected to leave interest rates unchanged after its two-day policy meeting that began today and hinted it may not raise rates until mid-2016 at the earliest.
Oil gained $1.30 a barrel, or 4.26 percent, to close at $31.45.
