NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wall Street closed slightly higher on Monday to mint new record highs for both the S&P 500 and the Dow industrials, fuelled by Bank of America's better-than-expected profit and a major tech sector acquisition.
The Dow Jones industrial average <.DJI> rose 16.3 points, or 0.09 percent, to 18,532.85, the S&P 500 <.SPX> gained 5.13 points, or 0.24 percent, to 2,166.87 and the Nasdaq Composite <.IXIC> added 26.20 points, or 0.52 percent, to 5,055.78.
