Stocks recovered from opening losses to post modest gains on Tuesday as housing and consumer confidence data fueling hopes a recession was easing offset concerns that major banks may need to raise more money.

Citigroup Inc is talking to the U.S. government about its capital levels after receiving early results of its stress test, but if it needs more capital, it does not expect to get it from the government, people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Encouraging data helped stocks pare losses, as a report showed prices of single-family homes fell in February, but the rapid pace of decline had slowed, while consumer confidence rose to its highest this year with some expectations the recession is reaching a bottom.

The Dow Jones industrial average added 12.50 points, or 0.16 percent, to 8,037.50. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index edged up 0.93 points, or 0.11 percent, at 858.44. The Nasdaq Composite Index put on 3.07 points, or 0.18 percent, to 1,682.48.

The broad S&P 500 is up nearly 26 percent from March's bear market lows on increased optimism over the state of banks and signs the recession may be easing.
