> The Dow rose 0.54%. All three readings were taken during Monday’s trading session.

U.S. stocks extended gains Monday, with the Nasdaq up 1% and the S&P 500 up 0.78% as all three major indexes traded higher during the session.

The Nasdaq stood at 26,215.018, giving it the largest percentage gain of the three. The S&P 500 reached 7,682.910, rising less than the Nasdaq but more than the Dow in the same market snapshot.

The Dow gained 0.54% to 52,499.230. Its smaller advance meant the Nasdaq led the three indexes in percentage terms, while the S&P 500 held the middle position. Each index was higher at the time of the readings.

The figures capture trading on Oct. 26, rather than final closing levels. They show an advance across the three U.S. stock benchmarks, with gains varying by index. The readings describe equity indexes and do not establish a price move for any individual stock or digital asset.
