Dow industrials rally prompts fresh Trump tweet about the stock market

President Donald Trump on Monday tweeted about the stock market -- only his second tweet on the topic since the stock market became more volatile. "Great news," the president said at the news the Dow industrials sported the third-best one-day point gain ever, adding the hashtag MAGA, which stands for Make America Great Again. Prior to this missive, Trump had authored just one tweet since Jan. 26 about the stock market. Even with the rally on Monday, the Dow is down 9.1% from its Jan. 26 level.

GE is Dow's sole loser on Monday, stock ends at lowest level since July 2009

Shares of General Electric Co. fell on Monday, bucking the sharply upward trend of the broader market as the beleagured industrial conglomerate continued to struggle. The stock fell 1.4% to $12.89, dropping below $13 for the first time since July 2009. GE posted its third straight daily decline, as well as its eighth negative session of the past 10. At current levels, it is down more than 26% in 2018, and it has lost more than half its value over the past 12 months. The company has been struggling for years, with the stock recently pressured by downbeat profit outlooks, a halved dividend, and an accounting probe by the Securities and Exchange Commission, among other factors. The stock was the only one of the 30 Dow components to end negative on Monday. The Dow gained 2.8% while the S&P 500 was up 2.7% and the Nasdaq Composite Index was up 3.3%.

Microsoft has best day since Oct. 2015, lifting overall tech sector

Shares of Microsoft Corp. surged on Monday, jumping in its biggest one-day pop in years and helping to lead both the technology sector and the broader market higher. The stock , a Dow component, climbed 7.6% and posted its best day since Oct. 2015. Gains came after Morgan Stanley raised its price target on Microsoft to $130, a level that implies upside of 40% from current levels. In addition, Microsoft announced an extension of its China partnership with Adobe Systems Inc. . Shares of Adobe ended up 6.5%. Microsoft was the biggest percentage gainer in the S&P 500 on Monday, and the rise contributed to the 4% gain in the technology sector , which was the top-performing industry group of the day. Trading in Microsoft was heavy, with more than 55.3 million shares exchanging hands, well above its 30-day average of 31.8 million. Thus far this year, Microsoft is up 9.6%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 2.8% on Monday while the S&P 500 was up 2.7% and the Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 3.3%.

Stocks post best day since 2015 on waning trade concerns; Microsoft soars

U.S. stocks closed sharply higher on Monday, with major indexes posting their best day in years as concerns about a potential trade war between China and the United States appeared to wane. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 671 points, or 2.9%, to 24,204. The S&P 500 gained 70 points to 2,659, a gain of 2.7%. The Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 228 points, or 3.3%, to 7,221. All three posted their biggest one-day percentage advance since August 2015. The day's gains were broad-based, with all 11 S&P 500 sectors ending in positive territory and six of them climbing more than 2% on the day. The biggest gainer of the day by far was the technology sector, which surged 4.1%, a rally that also represented its best single session since August 2015. The sector was largely supported by Microsoft Corp. , which jumped 7.6% in its best session since October 2015. Separately, Apple Inc. added 4.8%. On the downside, General Electric Co. fell 1.4% as the only one of the 30 Dow components to end negative on the day. The day's gains come after the worst week for the major indexes in two years; those losses were heavily driven by concerns over protectionist trade policy. While trade remains a primary focus, equity traders seem to be taking some cheer in reports that China and the U.S. have been holding discussions in a bid to help stave off a trade war.

Stock market's surge comes with panic-like buying in Nasdaq

A broad-market rally late Monday also is coming with panic-like buying, market internal data show. The Nasdaq Arms Index, a volume weighted breadth measure, fell to 0.492 in afternoon trade. The Arms Index tends to decline below 1.000 when the broader market rises, as the intensity of buyers of advancing stocks increases relative to the intensity of sellers of declining stocks. The number of advancing stocks on the NYSE outnumbered decliners 2,002 to 823, or by a about 2.4-to-1 margin. Many see Arms readings below 0.500 as implying panic-like activity. The Nasdaq Composite Index surged 229 points, or 3.3%, at 7,222, the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped nearly 700 points, or 2.9%, at 23,223, while the S&P 500 index surged 2.8% at 2,661. The gains for the S&P 500, Nasdaq and the Dow marked their sharpest in a session since August 2015.

Technology stocks were among the biggest boosts to the Nasdaq, with Apple Inc. up 4.7% and Microsoft Corp. climbing 7.6% in its biggest one-day advance since October 2015. With the day's advance, the Nasdaq is now up 4.6% thus far this year, and it is 5.5% below an all-time high reached earlier this year.

Dow industrials, S&P 500 on track for biggest 1-day surge in about 2 1/2 years

The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 index rallied to trade at session highs late Monday afternoon, with the benchmarks on track to post their sharpest one-day climb since Aug. 26, 2015, according to FactSet data. The Dow was up about 611 points, or 2.56, at 24,147. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index was trading up 62 points, or 2.4%, at 2,650, also on track for the best daily rise since late August of 2015. A cooling of tensions around trade between the U.S. and China has given way to a powerful rally for U.S. stocks, which are coming off the worst weekly decline in more than two years. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite Index surged 2.8% to 7,196, also putting the technology-heavy index on pace for its best one-session gain in about 2 1/2 years, on a percentage basis.
