NEW YORK: Wall Street’s main indexes rose on Monday to one-week highs as optimism around AI boosted semiconductor stocks, and a report suggested the incoming Trump administration could adopt a less aggressive stance on tariffs than previously anticipated.

At 9.47 am ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 174.85 points, or 0.41%, to 42,906.98, the S&P 500 gained 60.89 points, or 1.02%, to 6,003.36 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 300.71 points, or 1.53%, to 19,922.39.

Automakers rose, with Ford up 2.6% and General Motors gaining 2.8% after a report said President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration is currently focused on imposing universal tariffs, but only on certain sectors deemed critical to national or economic security. However, Trump later refuted the report.
