Shares of Bay Area companies such as Tesla and Apple edged upward Tuesday as stocks headed toward an end of three months of historical stock market volatility brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average kept rising, and then falling into the red, and was recently down by 115 points, or 0.5%, at 22,212.55. If those losses held, the Dow would end March down by 12.6%, and would finish the first quarter of 2020 with a loss of 22.2%, its worst first-quarter performance in history.
