The U.S. stock market rose in trading on Monday, with all three major indices closing at new historic highs.
The market was supported by news that U.S. President Donald Trump signed the country's $2.3 trillion fiscal year 2021 budget, which includes a $900 billion pandemic economic support package. The decision, which was announced Sunday, brought relief to investors who were alarmed by Trump's demands last week that Congress amend the COVID-19 pandemic relief bill and increase stimulus cheques to Americans and small businesses.
