Stocks shot out of the gate Monday and held gains into the close. Sentiment got a boost after the Senate advanced a key procedural measure that could end the record-long government shutdown later this week.
At the close, the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.8% at 47,368, the broader S&P 500 was 1.5% higher at 6,832, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite had gained 2.3% to 23,527.
