US markets inching higher, S&P eyes record high
US equities are trading in an upbeat tone on Monday, lifting the S&P500 closer to a record high as investors left behind the poor data from the Chinese economy. The US dollar is markedly lower against its major rivals, as risk-on trade is dominating the markets.
