U.S. stocks halted the longest slide since March and the dollar weakened from a 14-month high as global markets steadied in the wake of Monday's Turkey-induced turmoil. Crude rose. All major U.S. benchmarks were higher and the S&P 500 Index advanced for the first time in five days, though gains were muted amid thin summer trading. Home Depot Inc. climbed after results topped estimates, while Tesla Inc. gained after the latest tweets from Elon Musk. The 10-year Treasury yield held near 2.88 percent and the dollar slumped versus major peers.
