NEW YORK: Wall Street stocks rose for a third straight session on Monday , joining a global rally amid talk of economic stimulus in Germany and China and expectation of further Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.
The move came as US President Donald Trump and other top administration officials have talked up efforts to revive trade talks with Beijing.The broad-based S&P 500 rose 34.97 points to close at 2,923.65, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index advanced 106.82 points to 8,002.81.The Dow suffered its worst session of the year last Wednesday after yields on short-term US Treasuries briefly exceeded long-term notes, but since then, US stocks have risen retaking much of the lost ground.
"The market is looking at the positives out there," Thooft told AFP, adding that the low trading volumes in the sleepy August period have sharpened market swings in recent sessions.
