The Closing Bell: Wall Street Rises As Earnings Take Focus From Geopolitics

edited April 2017 in The Bullpen
FYI: U.S. equities rose on Monday as a weekend filled with geopolitical worries ended more calmly than investors expected, while bank stocks charged ahead.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose more than 100 points as Boeing and Goldman Sachs contributed the most gains on the 30-stock index.

The S&P 500 gained nearly 0.6 percent, with financials leading advancers. The SPDR S&P Bank ETF (KBE) rose more than half a percent after the top two Wells Fargo executives bought $5 million worth of Wells stock.
Regards,
Ted
