The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up to reverse Monday's losses as the stocks on the U.S. equities markets were up on Tuesday, amid a burst of earnings report and ahead of Wednesday's release of U.S. GDP growth for the first quarter. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 72.17 points or 0.4% to 18,110.14 which helped by strong earnings from Merck (NYSE:MRK) and gains in IBM (NYSE:IBM) after it boosted its dividend.
