NEW YORK - U.S. stocks jumped Monday as all four major U.S. indexes closed at new record highs.
corporate deals, with companies in the energy and technology industry making moves.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 16.28, or 0.8%, to close at a record 2198.18. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 88.76, or 0.5%, to a record close of 18,956.69. The Nasdaq composite index gained 47.35, or 0.9%, to close at an all-time high of 5368.86. The Russell 2000, an index of smaller companies, rose 6.59, or 0.5%, to 1322.23.
It was the first time all of those indexes set records on the same day since December 31, 1999, according to Ryan Detrick, senior market strategist for LPL Financial.
World stock markets were listless Monday with gains coming mostly in Japan and China as the dollar’s strength against local currencies lifted the export outlook.
European shares edged higher as Britain’s FTSE 100 rose less than 0.1%. France’s CAC 40 rose 0.6% and Germany’s DAX was up 0.2%.
Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 index rose 0.8% and the Shanghai Composite Index added 0.8%. However, South Korea’s Kospi dipped 0.4% and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng edged up less than 0.1%.
Chinese authorities set the yuan’s official “parity rate,” known as the fix, for the country’s tightly controlled currency 189 basis points lower to 6.8985 against the dollar. It’s the 12th day in a row Beijing has guided the yuan lower, amid suspicions Beijing is willing to let the currency weaken to help exports. The yuan, also known as the renminbi, hasn’t been this weak since the depths of the global financial crisis in 2008. The currency’s decline has hastened after Donald Trump’s U.S. election victory. He has vowed to brand China a currency manipulator as part of measures to counter what he says are unfair trade practices.
The dollar has also been rising against other major world currencies as investors increasingly factor in a Fed rate hike in December based on comments last week from U.S. central bank policymakers. The dollar’s nearly 7% again against the yen in the past week to its highest in six months has helped boost Japan’s major exporters, which benefit because their overseas profits can be converted into more yen. Trump’s campaign promises to boost the U.S. economy by ramping up government spending and cutting red tape have lifted the dollar but investors continue to wait for concrete details.
The dollar climbed to 110.85 yen from 110.92 yen in late trading Friday. The euro edged up to $1.0632 from $1.0589.
