💥 5 Under-$10 Stocks Crushing It — and Why Traders Can’t Look Away

U.S. stocks climbed Monday as Senate lawmakers moved closer to a deal that could end the historic government shutdown.

The S&P 500 rose 1.2%, the Nasdaq gained 2%, and the Dow added 183 points (0.4%), led by strength in AI heavyweights like Nvidia, Broadcom, and Microsoft.

Optimism returned after weeks of concern over high valuations and economic uncertainty. The proposed agreement would reopen the government through January, restore federal jobs, and offer future worker protections, though it excludes an ACA credit extension.

Investors remain focused on the upcoming Senate and House votes, as the shutdown continues to weigh on consumer sentiment and delay key economic reports.
