The US markets ended higher on Monday, extending the strong upward move seen in the previous session, following a rally seen in the European markets, as traders picked up stocks at relatively reduced levels. Traders seemed to shrug off recent concerns about a surge in coronavirus cases and uncertainty about the US presidential election. The markets have also benefitted from optimism about a new coronavirus bill after House Speaker Nancy Pelolsi said a new package is still possible. House Democrats plan to unveil a new $2.4 trillion coronavirus relief bill.
The price tag for the bill is $1 trillion less than a stimulus package the House passed back in May but may still be too high for Republicans. Housing stocks showed a substantial move to the upside on the day, driving the Philadelphia Housing Sector Index up by 3.7 percent. On the economic front, Cleveland Federal Reserve Bank President Loretta Mester warned that the US economy remained fragile and will not fully recover until actions are taken to promote a more inclusive economy.
Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 410.1 points or 1.51 percent to 27,584.06, Nasdaq jumped 203.96 points or 1.87 percent 11,117.53 and S&P 500 was up by 53.14 points or 1.61 percent to 3,351.6.
