US stocks registered their first gains of the new year Tuesday, with the Nasdaq adding nearly one percent, helped by a solid November trade report.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished up 105.84 points (0.64 percent) at 16,530.94.
The broad-based S&P 500 gained 11.11 (0.61 percent) at 1,837.88, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite added 39.50 (0.96 percent) at 4,153.18.
The gains cut a three-session losing streak that began on the first trading day of the year.
