U.S. stocks climbed and European shares reversed earlier losses to trade higher as investors tried to gauge how the economic crisis in Turkey could bleed into global markets. Most major U.S. equity benchmarks were higher in light summer trading, led by the Nasdaq 100 Index. Volume on the S&P 500 Index was down nearly 20 percent from normal for this time of day. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index recovered from its lows but was still dragged down by banks, which are heavily exposed to borrowers in Turkey. Treasuries dipped and Italian bonds led a slump in European peripheral debt. Gold fell with oil. The Turkish lira tumbled again alongside the country's equities after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan maintained his defiance toward both the U.S. and financial-market orthodoxy in speeches on Sunday. Central bank moves to boost liquidity provided little relief. The pain spread across emerging-market assets and the South African rand touched the lowest since June 2016.
