U.S. stocks minimized some of the damage suffered since the Brexit vote rocked the finance world. The shock decision for the UK to exit the EU triggered selloffs that wiped out $3 trillion from global markets in Friday and Monday's session. Crude oil also rebounded alongside equities as traders saw an opportunity after days of extreme declines. West Texas Intermediate recaptured a level above $47 a barrel, partially recovering from its two-session drop. Shares of PayPal (PYPL) - Get Report moved higher Tuesday afternoon on Twitter chatter over takeover interest from MasterCard (MA) - Get Report . Neither company commented on speculation. Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS) - Get Report was placed on Goldman Sachs' conviction buy list. The firm said Dick's was best positioned to reap the benefits from the closing of Sports Authority stores.
