The U.S. stock market attempted a rebound following Tuesday’s declines, sparked by a higher-than-expected inflation report in January, as investors refocused on corporate earnings.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended Wednesday 0.4% higher at 38,424.27, while the S&P 500 gained 0.96% to 5,000.62. The Nasdaq ended the day 1.3% higher at 15,859.15.
