				U.S. stocks coasted to a quiet finish to begin a week full of 
				potentially market-moving events.
 The S&P 500 edged up by less than 0.1% on Monday to set an 
				all-time high for the sixth straight day. The Dow Jones 
				Industrial Average slipped 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite added 
				0.3% to its own record.
 
 Stocks were steady after the United States and European Union 
				agreed on the framework for a trade deal, one that still has 
				many details to be worked out. Later this week will come Big 
				Tech profit reports, a decision on interest rates by the Federal 
				Reserve and other highly anticipated reports.
 
 On Monday:
 
 The S&P 500 rose 1.13 points, or less than 0.1%, to 6,389.77.
 
 The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 64.36 points, or 0.1%, to 
				44,837.56.
 
 The Nasdaq composite rose 70.27 points, or 0.3%, to 21,178.58.
 
 The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 4.34 points, or 
				0.2%, to 2,256.73.
 
 For the year:
 
 The S&P 500 is up 508.14 points, or 8.6%.
 
 The Dow is up 2,293.34 points, or 5.4%.
 
 The Nasdaq is up 1,867.79 points, or 9.7%.
 
 The Russell 2000 is up 26.57 points, or 1.2%.
