U.S. stocks finished higher on Monday, building on the recovery from last week's sharp selloff. A mixed retail-sales report brought some relief to Wall Street that the weakness in consumer spending might not be as bad as it seemed.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 353.44 points, or nearly 0.9%, to end at 41,841.63. According to Dow Jones Market Data, the index rose 2.5% over the last two trading days, scoring its largest two-day advance since Nov. 7.
The S&P 500 rose 36.18 points, or 0.6%, to finish at 5,675.12.
The Nasdaq Composite gained 54.58 points, or 0.3%, ending at 17,808.66

The International Energy Agency cut its 2025 global oil demand growth forecast to 1.03 million barrels per day, down from 1.10 million bpd, blaming worsening economic conditions driven by US trade tensions with China, Mexico and Canada. The agency expects global supply to outstrip demand by 600,000 bpd, a surplus that could swell to 1 million if OPEC+ ramps up production beyond April.
🚀The stranded astronauts’ long, long time in space is almost over
A SpaceX Crew Dragon arrived at the International Space Station early...
A SpaceX Crew Dragon arrived at the International Space Station early Sunday morning with two new NASA astronauts, a Japanese astronaut, and a Russian cosmonaut, clearing the way for Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to head home, perhaps later this week. NASA insists that the pair has not been stranded this whole time, but instead that they were intentionally kept hanging for technical and budgetary reasons. Speaking of budget, Wilmore and Williams apparently will get no overtime or compensation above and beyond their usual salary for the extra months spent working from space, according to a retired astronaut familiar with the government’s terms. Who could blame them if they start thinking about NASA as just their job five days a week?

The Cubs–Dodgers games will be a prework treat on the East Coast, with the first pitch scheduled for just after 6am ET on Fox tomorrow and FS1 Wednesday.
