The blue-chip index pares most of its earlier losses by midday

(Updates story with midday stock market prices.)

Following a brutal 5.1% decline for the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Thursday and Friday, the setup was dire, (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/tense-day-for-wall-street-ahead-as-china-stocks-tank-85-2015-08-24) and, alas, the blue-chip index opened the new week down as much as 1,000 points (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/us-stocks-plummet-at- open-dow-drops-1000-points-2015-08-24), or 6.6%. But sentiment changed quickly, as the index had fallen only 226 points, or 1.4%, at midday.

Shares of Apple Inc.(AAPL) had led the 30 Dow components with an early decline of 10.2%. But shares of the iPhone maker bounced back, rising 1.4% to $107.22 by noon New York time. The only other Dow component that was up for the day was chip maker Intel Corp.(INTC) , with a gain of 0.9% to $26.81.
