Stocks closed broadly higher on Wall Street Monday as the market clawed back some of its sharp losses from September.
The rally extended the S&P 500’s gains to a third day in a row. The benchmark index was coming off its first four-week losing streak in more than a year and is on track to close out September with a loss after five months of gains.
Tech stocks accounted for a big slice of the gains. Several companies announced big mergers and acquisitions, which helped to push markets higher.
