US stocks rise as gold hits another record and the dollar’s value falls
U.S. stocks are ticking higher, while other markets make much louder moves, including another record-breaking rush for the price of gold. The S&P 500 rose 0.4% Monday to win back its losses from last week’s dip. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 143 points, and the Nasdaq composite gained 0.4% higher. Baker Hughes helped lead the way after the energy technology company delivered a stronger profit report than analysts expected. Gold’s price briefly topped $5,100 per ounce for the first time, while the U.S. dollar’s value slid again against other currencies. The Japanese yen jumped most sharply against the dollar.
