US: Wall St starts fourth quarter on a high note

WALL Street’s main indexes advanced on Monday (Oct 3) after sharp declines last week although losses in Tesla capped the gains for growth and tech-heavy Nasdaq after the world’s most valuable electric-vehicle maker missed quarterly delivery targets.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 129.74 points, or 0.45 per cent, at the open to 28,855.25.

The S&P 500 opened higher by 24.16 points, or 0.67 per cent, at 3,609.78, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 83.39 points, or 0.79 per cent, to 10,659.01 at the opening bell. REUTERS
