The US markets ended higher on Monday amid fresh hope for a coronavirus vaccine, a flurry of initial public offerings and potential corporate mash-ups, including reports that Oracle plans to forge a partnership with TikTok, the popular China-based social-media platform. An agreement to link up TikTok with a US company comes amid rising tensions between America and China, with President Donald Trump threatening repeatedly to shut down TikTok in the US if it isn’t sold to an American company by September 15.
The rally on markets partly reflected a rebound by technology stocks, which recovered after leading the markets lower last week. The significant advance by the Nasdaq comes after the tech-heavy index plunged by 4.1 percent last week in its worst week since March. Apple (AAPL) has been a key driver of the markets in recent sessions and advanced by 3 percent after ending the previous session at its lowest closing level in a month. Shares of Nvidia also saw considerable strength after the graphics chip maker announced a $40 billion acquisition of chip designer Arm Holdings.
Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 327.69 points or 1.18 percent to 27,993.33, Nasdaq rose 203.11 points or 1.87 percent 11,056.65 and S&P 500 was up by 42.57 points or 1.27 percent to 3,383.54.
