Stocks open higher; Dow gains over 200 points
U.S. equity markets opened higher on Monday with the main indexes attempting a rebound after an ugly selloff on Friday. Monday's gains follow softer rhetoric over the U.S.-China trade dispute from the Trump administration over the weekend. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 212 points, or 0.9%, to 24,149. The S&P 500 index rose 15 points, or 0.6% to 2,619. Meanwhile the Nasdaq Composite advanced 58 points, or 0.9% to 6,973. Among the best performers on the S&P 500, Leucadia National Corp. shares jumped after the company announced plans to trim its stake in a meat business and sell off interest in a car-dealership group.
