(CNBC) -- Stocks finished higher Monday following a volatile week on Wall Street, led by reopening stocks as the Food and Drug Administration approved its first Covid-19 vaccine.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 215.63 points, or 0.6%, to 35,335.71. The S&P 500 added 0.8% to reach 4,479.53. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose about 1.5% to 14,942.65.
The major averages were coming off a losing week as investors grew worried that the Federal Reserve’s potential move to pull back monetary stimulus could slow down the economic recovery that is already challenged by the spread of the delta Covid-19 variant.
