S&P 500 up 1 percent as materials rally


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - The S&P 500 index briefly rose more than 1 percent on Tuesday, boosted by a turnaround in shares of Goldman Sachs and strength in the homebuilding and raw materials sectors.

    The Dow Jones industrial average gained 47.46 points, or 0.47 percent, to 10,201.89. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 8.70 points, or 0.81 percent, to 1,079.95. The Nasdaq Composite Index added 12.71 points, or 0.58 percent, to 2,210.94.

    The S&P 500 earlier hit a session low near the key support level of 1,060. Low volume contributed to the market's swings.
