Stocks nudged higher ahead of a week with several data reports that could dictate whether and by how much the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at its next meeting.
The S&P 500 added 0.2% and finished just below its record set last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.3%, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 0.5% to a record.
AppLovin and Robinhood Markets helped lead the market on news they will join the S&P 500 index later this month. Trading across Wall Street was relatively quiet ahead of updates coming later this week on the job market and inflation.
