Technology companies led U.S. stocks broadly higher Monday, extending the market's recent rally. Trading was muted following the Christmas holiday as Wall Street kicked off the final week in a banner year for the stock market.

Trading is expected to be quiet, but potentially volatile, this week as the omicron coronavirus variant continues to spread quickly throughout the U.S. and overseas. However most big investors have closed out their positions for 2021, and are like to hold their ground until next week.

Energy companies like Devon Energy and Diamondback Energy were among the biggest gainers in the S&P 500.
