How major US stock indexes fared Monday
U.S. stocks climbed on Monday to close out another tumultuous quarter with a modest gain. As has been the case throughout the quarter, movements in President Donald Trump's trade war with China helped drive the market on Monday.
Investors found encouragement after China said that its top trade negotiator will lead talks with the United States that are expected to take place next week. The Trump administration also calmed some worries that it may limit U.S. investment in Chinese companies.
