U.S. stocks gained on Monday, with the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq rising by 0.45%, 0.36%, and 0.54%, respectively. Oil prices also edged up as investors remained hopeful for a deescalation in Middle East tensions. President Trump extended his deadline to Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET, warning of attacks on critical infrastructure if no deal is reached. Reports suggested diplomatic efforts for a 45-day ceasefire. Oil futures climbed, with Brent crude at $110 and WTI at $112 per barrel. Investors also await key U.S. inflation data later this week.
