After moving sharply higher over the course of last Friday’s session, stocks fluctuated over the course of the trading day on Monday but managed to end the day mostly higher. The major averages all finished the day firmly positive, climbing further off the one-year lows hit last Tuesday.
The Dow jumped 312.08 points or 0.8 percent to 40,524.79, the Nasdaq rose 107.03 points or 0.6 percent to 16,831.48 and the S&P 500 climbed 42.61 points or 0.8 percent to 5,405.07.

After showing a lack of direction early in the session, stocks moved sharply higher over the course of the trading day on Friday. The major averages all showed strong moves to the upside, partly offsetting the substantial pullback seen during Thursday’s session.
The major averages moved roughly sideways going into the close, hovering firmly in positive territory. The Nasdaq shot up 337.14 points or 2.1 percent to 16,724.46, the S&P 500 surged 95.31 points or 1.8 percent to 5.363.36 and the Dow jumped 619.05 points or 1.6 percent to 40,212.71.
Largely reflecting the historic rally on Wednesday, the major averages also posted strong gains for the week. The Nasdaq skyrocketed by 7.3 percent, while the S&P and the Dow spiked by 5.7 percent and 5.0 percent, respectively.
