		</div><p>An afternoon surge has given the US stock market its best day in close to four years, as stocks rebounded from a six-day slump.</p>
<p>The three major US indexes dropped six days in a row heading into Wednesday amid concerns that China’s economy is weaker than investors had previously thought. That was the longest market slide in more than three years.</p>
<p>The Dow fell about 1,900 points over that period, while the slump wiped more than two trillion dollars off the value of S&#038;P 500 companies.</p>
<p>The Dow Jones industrial average rose 619.07 points, or 4%, to 16,285. The Standard &#038; Poor’s 500 index gained 72.9 points, or 3.9%, to 1,940, giving the index its best day since November 2011. The Nasdaq composite gained 191 points, or 4.2%, to 4,697.</p>
<p>Markets have been volatile since China decided to weaken its currency earlier this month. Investors interpreted the move as an attempt to bolster a sagging economy.</p>
<p>Traders are also jittery about the outlook for interest rates. The Federal Reserve has signalled it could raise its key interest rate for the first time in nearly a decade later this year.</p>
<p>New York Fed President Bill Dudley said the case for a rate increase next month had become “less compelling” in recent weeks, which may have added fuel to the market gains.</p>
<p>However, he also stated that the situation could still change before the Fed’s next policy meeting scheduled for mid-September.<br />
Investors were also following the latest corporate deal and earnings news. Technology stocks were among the biggest gainers.</p>
<p>Despite the increase, US manufacturers still face a host of problems from a stronger dollar to falling oil prices and turbulence in China, the world’s second-biggest economy.</p>
