FYI: U.S. stock-market benchmark traded firmly higher, with shares of Apple hitting a record, as investors digested a raft of economic reports and looked ahead to the start of the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting on Tuesday.
The S&P 500 index SPX, +0.20% was up 9 points, or 0.4%, to 2,388, with seven of the 11 main sectors trading in positive territory. Utilities were the biggest loser, down 0.7%, while technology and financial stocks led the gains.
