Stock Markets Rebound as Amazon Chases Peloton; High Hopes for Aurora Cannabis

After a gloomy September that's featured several significant pullbacks, market participants finally seemed to feel a bit more confident about the prospects for stocks surviving the often-challenging early fall season. Gains came across the board for major benchmarks, although as we've seen a lot lately, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) lagged behind the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) and the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC). Meanwhile, Aurora Cannabis (NYSE: ACB) had marijuana investors excited going into its quarterly earnings report after the bell, with many hoping that the long-suffering cannabis sector might finally bounce back.
