The S&P 500 index rose 0.36%, the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.71%, and the Russell 2000 smaller-business-heavy index rose 0.41%. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, consisting of the top 30 significant American companies, fell 0.14%. The VIX volatility index likewise fell 1.68%, reflecting the gradual buying pressure felt across markets during trading hours.

European ETFs saw substantial losses ahead of tensions with the Russian Federation over the Ukraine debacle. Meanwhile, their Asian counterparts, like the Japanese Nikkei 225 and the SSE Composite, rose by large margins.

Cryptocurrencies experienced a continuation of their rally from last week as rate cut odds spike; Bitcoin's valuation rose 1%, XRP's 0.66%, and Ethereum's 3.89%, for instance. Commodities like gold held very similar results as investors plan their retreat from the U.S. Dollar. Even the 10-Yr Bond rate, among other figures across the bond market, saw rises as more bonds potentially become available with lower interest rates.

Stocks largely rose today as OpenAI announced its partnership with AMD to make significant investments into AI infrastructure in order to boost investor confidence in the industry, which has recently fallen. Similarly AI-driven stocks like Palantir and Oracle saw substantial rises in price as a result.

Among the other factors for Monday's bullish performances across the board have been Trump eyeing negotiations to end the government shutdown, and bolstered interest rate cut hopes, which investors anticipate could lead to a 25 basis point cut this month following the 25 basis point cut realized in September.
