U.S. stocks edged higher Monday on a quiet day. In the absence of major economic news, stocks were riding a tailwind of optimism from the most recent U.S. job numbers released last week and hope for more action by European authorities to address that region's debt crisis.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 21.34 points, or 0.2 percent, to close at 13,117.51.
The Standard & Poor's 500 rose 3.24, or 0.2 percent, to 1,394.23.
The Nasdaq composite index rose 22.01, or 0.7 percent, to 2,989.91.
For the year:
The Dow is up 899.95 points, or 7.4 percent.
The S&P 500 is up 136.63, or 10.9 percent.
The Nasdaq composite is up 384.76, or 14.8 percent.
