Stocks Are Surging After The Long Weekend

Investors and traders are back from their three-day weekends, and they're bidding stock prices higher.

The S&P 500 is up by 1.0%. The Dow is up 113 points, or about 0.7%.

This comes after a wave of international PMI reports signaled that the world economy was still growing.

Geopolitical concerns have also receded a bit as any military response on Syria seems be delayed at the least.
