Daily Small Cap Market News and Stock Highlights from SmallCapVoice.com

Wall Street got some good news from Citigroup, and responded with a huge rally.

Led by financial stocks, the market made its first big move upward in weeks Tuesday after Citigroup Inc. said it had operated at a profit during the first two months of the year. All the major indexes soared more than 3.5 percent, and the Dow Jones industrials shot up more than 250 points.

Still, while word of Citi's performance at least temporarily broke a months-long torrent of bad news from the banking industry, analysts weren't ready to say the stock market was at a turning point and about to barrel higher.

Financial stocks have been a primary driver in a market collapse that has left the major indexes at their lowest point in more than a decade. Every report of loan losses and asset writedowns have sent banking stocks to incredible lows -- Citi fell below $1 a share last week. And fears that hundreds of billions of dollars in government bailouts wouldn't be enough to save the big banks exacerbated the fears on the Street. 

Ben Halliburton, chief investment officer of Tradition Capital Management warned that the advance was likely just another bear market rally. Short-lived rallies are common during periods of extended declines as the market searches for a bottom.

But investors were further encouraged by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke who called for a revamp of the country's financial regulatory system. Speaking before the Council of Foreign Relations, Bernanke said "too big to fail" companies must be subject to more rigorous supervision to prevent them from taking on excessive risk. Bernanke's remarks come as the Obama administration and Congress begin to devise their overhaul strategies.

The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 259.02, or 4 percent, to 6,806.07. The Standard & Poor's 500 index added 29.62, or 4.4 percent, to 706.15, while the Nasdaq composite rose 62.04, or 4.9 percent, to 1,330.68.
