American stock indices showed confident growth on Monday. Investors reacted to falling oil prices and bond yields.
The S&P 500 index added 1 percent and came within less than one percent of the all-time high set last month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 193 points, while the Nasdaq composite climbed 1,6 percent.
The price of a barrel of Brent crude retreated toward 100 dollars. The yield on 10-year US Treasury bonds fell to 4,96 percent. These factors eased pressure on the markets after last week's surges.
The positive momentum spread to other regions as well. Indices in Germany, Hong Kong and South Korea gained more than one percent.
What lies behind such a rapid recovery in sentiment on Wall Street? The decline in the cost of energy and bonds gave the markets a breather, allowing stocks to return to growth.
The situation in commodity and debt markets remains a key factor for the further movement of American stocks. Investors are closely watching developments.
