NEW YORK: US stocks on Monday finished higher, capping a sunny day for global markets in a rally that gained force from a more optimistic perception of conflicts in Ukraine and Iraq.
At the closing bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 15.12 points (0.09 percent) at 16,569.05.
The broad-based S&P 500 rose 5.21 (0.27 percent) to 1,936.80, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index added 30.43 (0.70 percent) at 4,401.33.
Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at S&P Capital IQ, said stock buying picked up momentum from "a receding of global tensions." Equity markets also gained in Europe and Asia.
