SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Tech stocks appeared to shake off their early losses as trading progressed Tuesday, with the sector finally charting broad gains after falling for several days.

Among leading tech stocks, Internet radio leader Pandora Media Inc. (P) rose 4.5%, and Yahoo Inc. (YHOO) was up by almost 4% and Google Inc. (GOOGL), Netflix Inc. (NFLX) and eBay Inc. (EBAY) each rose more than 3%.

The Nasdaq Composite Index (RIXF) came back from a round of losses to rise 24 points to 4,119. The tech-heavy market gauge is trying to find some stability after losing almost 5% over the prior three trading sessions.

The tech sector generally mirrored the movement of the broader market, which also fluctuated earlier. Adding to investors' concerns was a new report from the International Monetary Fund, which said economic shockwaves in emerging markets could end up negatively impacting several Western economies.

Among other tech stocks, Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) rose 2.7% to $326.86 after the company cited new market data that said its Prime Instant Video service usage tripled from a year ago, and that it surpassed both Hulu and Apple Inc. (AAPL) in streaming video use.

Yelp Inc. (YELP) shares rose 3% to $68.06 after SunTrust Robinson Humphrey analyst Robert Peck raised his rating on the online consumer review and information company to buy from neutral, saying in a research note that Yelp's stock price valuation is more supportive following a 33% decline in the past month.
