U.S. TRADING SUMMARY: U.S. stocks gave back much of their early gains on Tuesday but the market held a positive tone after better-than-expected earnings from the financial sector, a huge Internet merger, and optimism over Brazil's decision to let its currency trade freely. At 10:45 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones industrial average was off 33 points at 9308. Earlier, the index was ahead almost 60 points on positive earnings reports and a feeling that Brazil's worst troubles were behind it. The Nasdaq Composite jumped 26 points to 2374, while the S&P 500 gained three to 1246. Advances narrowly led declines on NYSE volume of 204 million shares. The 30-year Treasury was off 21/32 to yield 5.15%.
