After zooming higher early, the major indexes dipped into the red before recovering slightly amid reports of an escalation of violence in Eastern Ukraine. Shortly after 10:30AM ET the Dow is up 13 points, the Nasdaq is down 15 points and the S&P 500 is up 2 points.
Stocks started strong as traders used the recent sell-off to add to position on the view that tax-related selling would abate with U.S tax day having arrived.
