Dow and S&P climb on materials and defensive bets


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Dow and S&P 500 rose 1 percent in volatile trading on Tuesday, led by materials and defensive plays, but investors shied away from big-cap technology shares on concerns about their European exposure.

    * The Dow Jones industrial average gained 123.49 points, or 1.26 percent, to end unofficially at 9,939.98. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 11.53 points, or 1.10 percent, to finish unofficially at 1,062.00. But the Nasdaq Composite Index dipped 3.33 points, or 0.15 percent, to close unofficially at 2,170.57.
