U.S. stocks ended sharply higher on Monday, bouncing back sharply from last week's losses, boosted by gains in energy and materials shares and optimism over Warren Buffett's latest deal.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 241.79 points, or 1.39 percent, to 17,615.17, the S&P 500 gained 26.56 points, or 1.28 percent, to 2,104.13 and the Nasdaq Composite added 58.25 points, or 1.16 percent, to 5,101.80. The Visual Marketplace Index was down today, with advancers ahead of declines, but still lost 2.66 points, or just a hair above 1 percent, to finish at 257.06. The major determinant in the index today was Samsung, which dropped $30.60 or roughly 3%. Samsung’s stock is often believed to lag behind that of Apple in terms of trading and Apple was down most of last week.
