U.S. stocks finished sharply higher on Monday, with the Dow Jones industrial average re-emerging in positive territory for the year, after euro zone leaders reached a tentative deal to bail out Greece. The improved European picture led to best three-day run this year for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite. Facebook, Netflix, and Amazon all hit record highs, while Apple's 1.93 percent rise gave the biggest boost to the Nasdaq.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 217.27 points, or 1.22 percent, to end at 17,977.68. The S&P 500 gained 22.98 points, or 1.11 percent, to 2,099.6 and the Nasdaq Composite added 73.82 points, or 1.48 percent, to 5,071.51. The Visual Marketplace Index had the best day since we’ve been tracking the index, it’s up 4.57 points or almost 2% to finish the day at 260.53.
