An early rally on strong results from HP turned negative on Tuesday before stocks recovered to close in positive territory.

The major indexes were up more than 1% in the first 90 minutes of trading before 25% losses in shares of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae caught up with the market. At their lows, the indexes were down nearly as much as they had been up before they recovered to end the day with modest gains.

Also moving stocks was a Federal Reserve outlook that predicted economic weakness and lower inflation, yet the October Fed meeting minutes released at the same time showed reluctance to cut interest rates last month. After initially sending stocks lower, traders decided that the outlook gave the Fed room to cut interest rates — possibly even an emergency rate cut — which helped the market recover off its lows.
