U.S. markets closed higher on Monday amid rising optimism of Federal Reserve’s rate cut in September following weak jobs data. The up move was partially fuelled by value buying as traders looked to pick up stocks at reduced levels following the recent sell-off, which saw the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 pull back well off their record highs. Meanwhile, investors shrugged off report release by Commerce Department showing that factory orders pulled back sharply in the month of June. The Commerce Department said factory orders declined by 4.8 percent in June after soaring by an upwardly revised 8.3 percent in May, while street had expected factory orders to plunge by 5.0 percent compared to the 8.2 percent surge originally reported for the previous month.
On sectoral front, substantial strength has been seen in Networking stocks, with the NYSE Arca Networking Index spiking by 10.0 percent to a record closing high. CommScope (COMM) led the sector higher, skyrocketing by 86.3 percent after announcing an agreement to sell its connectivity and cable solutions business to Amphenol (APH).
Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 585.06 points or 1.34 percent to 44,173.64, Nasdaq surged 403.45 points or 1.95 percent to 21,053.58 and S&P 500 shot up 91.93 points or 1.47 percent to 6,329.94.
