US stocks moved higher on Monday, with the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq all gaining, according to MarketWatch. The advance came as crude oil prices and Treasury yields both declined.
MarketWatch reported that Apple earnings were on tap. Other outlets covering the session offered a mixed picture of the day's trading. CNBC described the S&P 500 as pulling back as losses in technology shares outweighed the effect of cooler oil prices, in its report ahead of the midterm elections. Yahoo Finance, meanwhile, reported that US equity indexes were rising amid sinking crude oil and Treasury yields.
The Wall Street Journal framed the session as a rebound following Friday's selloff, with oil sliding on hopes tied to the Middle East. Bloomberg reported that stocks and bonds rose as oil tumbled on hopes surrounding the US and Iran.
Taken together, the reports point to a session shaped by moves in energy and government debt, with technology stocks a point of weakness in at least one account. The descriptions of the major indexes were not uniform across outlets, and the source material does not provide closing levels or percentage moves.
Investors will be watching Apple's earnings results, which MarketWatch flagged as due, along with the midterm elections that CNBC cited as a backdrop for markets.
