(RTTNews) - Wall Street experienced a volatile day of trading on Monday, as stocks bounced back from early losses led by strength within the tech sector ahead of quarterly earning results from Apple (AAPL) and Texas Instruments (TXN).
Stocks fell in early trading, looking to extend substantial losses posted last Friday, as investors remained nervous about the state of economy following mixed earning results.
However, as the trading day wore on, tech stocks began to lead the markets higher, as investors put themselves in favorable positions ahead of earning results from key tech companies after the closing bell.
After opening in negative territory, the major averages were able to climb into positive territory to finish the session, ending near their intraday highs.
The Dow rose 44.95 points, or 0.33 percent, to close at 13,566.97. The Nasdaq climbed 28.77 points, or 1.06 percent, to finish at 2,753.93. The S&P 500 ended at 1,506.33, an increase of 5.70 points, or 0.38 percent.
