Wall Street opened the week with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq nudging past previous peaks amid fresh jobs and inflation numbers. Investors cheered stronger‑than‑expected payroll growth while traders wrestled with mixed consumer‑price data. Tech giants lifted the Nasdaq, while energy stocks buoyed the broader index. Analysts warn volatility could rise as the Federal Reserve eyes policy moves. The rally sets the tone for what could be a pivotal economic week.
