Wall Street hits all-time highs ahead of earnings deluge; bitcoin jumps – Sydney Morning Herald
Wall Street has started the week in the black as investors gear up for the busiest week for earnings so far this season.
Technology companies helped lift stocks modestly higher on Wall Street on Monday (US time), nudging the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes to all-time highs.
The S&P 500 rose 0.2 per cent, with only slightly more than half the companies in the index notching gains. Banks and companies that rely on consumer spending were among the winners, outweighing a pullback in household goods makers and health care stocks, among others.
