The stock market climbed higher on Monday, bouncing back from substantial losses last week as geopolitical tensions eased and investors refocused their attention on the general strength of the U.S. economy. Major benchmarks moved higher by half a percent or more, with the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite gaining the most ground after suffering a disproportionately large share of the declines in previous market sessions. Even though the general mood on Wall Street was favorable, some stocks nevertheless failed to participate in the rally.
