Wall Street closed higher in the final session of 2018 on Monday, but the year proved to be the worst for US stocks since the financial crisis a decade ago.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 1.2 per cent to close the year at 23,327.46 -- which meant a loss of 5.6 per cent from 2017.
The broad-based S&P 500 advanced 0.9 per cent in the session to 2,506.85, a loss of 6.2 per cent for the year.
