The US markets ended higher on Monday supported by surge in tech stocks, with AI darling and market leader Nvidia (NVDA) jumping by 2.1 percent. However, gains remained capped as traders seemed reluctant to make more significant moves amid concerns about a potential U.S. government shutdown ahead of a deadline at the end of the day on September 30. Further, market participants were looking ahead to the release of the Labor Department's closely watched monthly jobs report on October 3. The report which is expected to show employment rose by 50,000 jobs in September, could impact the outlook for interest rates.
On sectoral front, computer hardware stocks turned in some of the market's best performances on the day, with the NYSE Arca Computer Hardware Index surging by 4.1 percent. Besides, significant strength has been seen in brokerage stocks, as reflected by the 1.4 percent gain posted by the NYSE Arca Broker/Dealer Index.
