Gains in shares of Apple and Goldman Sachs Group helped the Dow Jones Industrial Average jump more than 100 points Monday. Solid earnings and hints about U.S. tax cuts have helped reinvigorate appetite for equities in recent sessions. Shares were on track for fresh records again, after U.S. stocks rose last week following President Donald Trump's comments that his plans for lowering taxes were moving ahead of schedule. Shares of banks and industrial companies were among the biggest gainers of the day. Investors also were looking ahead to comments from Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen, who is scheduled to appear before the U.S. Senate on Tuesday and the House on Wednesday to give testimony about monetary policy. Investors don't expect another interest-rate increase in the U.S. until June, according to Fed funds futures tracked by CME Group.
