U.S. stock benchmarks climbed on Monday, with the S&P 500 index and the Dow industrials closing at all-time highs for a second straight session, ahead of the start of a key gathering of the Federal Reserve. However, technology stocks lagged behind, limiting gains for the Nasdaq Composite Index. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 63 points, or 0.3%, to 22,331, led by sharp gains for industrials giants Caterpillar Inc. and General Electric Co. . The S&P 500 index advanced about 3 points, or 0.2%, to 2,503. The Nasdaq Composite , meanwhile, finished up 6 points, or 0.1%, at 6,454.
