Wall Street rallies, 'political intrigue' boosts euro stocks

Wall Street hit a trifecta of record finishes Monday on all the major stocks indices while the weekend's fast-paced "political intrigue" in Europe sent equities there higher as well. Rising oil prices saw energy stocks spike, helping push the major indices higher in New York. The tech-heavy Nasdaq gained 0.9 percent, the broad-based S&P 500 rose 0.8 percent and the Dow Jones Industrial Average of blue-chip stocks was up 0.5 percent.
