U.S. stocks rose Monday and added to their gains from last week, as technology companies once again led the way.
The S&P 500 rose 52.95, or 1 percent, to 5,180.74. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 176.59, or 0.5 percent, to 38,852.27, and the Nasdaq composite jumped 192.92, or 1.2 percent, to 16,349.25.
Tech stocks were at the forefront, with familiar ringleaders Nvidia and Super Micro Computer again pulling the market higher. They’ve had a couple of hiccups recently, but a frenzy around artificial intelligence technology has Nvidia up 86.1 percent for the year so far after Monday’s 3.8 percent gain. Super Micro is up 192.1 percent after its gain of 6.1 percent.
Vistra, an electricity and power generation company, rose 2.
