NEW YORK - Wall Street was higher on Tuesday afternoon, extending a rally from Friday, as investors went bargain hunting among beaten-down consumer discretionary, industrial and financial stocks.

The S&P 500 .SPX was up 23.53 points, or 1.26 percent, at 1,888.31 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC was up 76.26 points, or 1.76 percent, at 4,413.77.
