Dow erases early dip as stocks advance to begin week in holiday-thinned trade

Stocks were higher at mid-morning Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average recovering from an early wobble to edge into positive territory.

Both the Dow and S&P 500 were building on Friday’s record close. Tech, utilities and communications services led the S&P 500 higher. The bond market was closed for the Columbus Day holiday, likely leading to thin trading conditions.
