U.S. stocks are rising as gains for Big Tech make up for slides
in oil-and-gas stocks after the price of crude tumbled sharply.

gained 0.6%, and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.3% to approach its
all-time high set in July.
Apple and other Big Tech stocks rose ahead of their profit
reports that are scheduled to come later in the week.

against Iran for earlier missile attacks proved to be more
restrained than some investors had feared.
