US equity markets advanced on Monday, with gains led by technology stocks and a broader rally in indices after oil prices fell and diplomatic hopes intensified. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.71%, while the S&P 500 climbed 1.49%, and the Nasdaq 100 surged 2.83% to its highest level since March, reaching 30,482.35 points. The rally reflected optimism tied to Meta’s KI assistant launch and softer inflation pressures from declining crude prices, which dipped below $100 per barrel for Brent crude for the first time since September 9, marking the lowest level since then.
