Stocks notched some modest gains on Wall Street Monday, enough to mark more record highs for major U.S. indexes.
The S&P 500 edged up for its eighth straight gain, matching its longest winning streak since April 2019, however most of the gains during that stretch have been modest. Stocks of construction-related companies made some of the strongest gains after Congress passed a $1 trillion infrastructure bill on Friday.
Stocks have been climbing broadly over the last month as companies have reported stronger-than-expected profits.
