Major U.S. stock-indexes sharply higher on Monday, with the S&P and the Dow recovering last week's losses, after polls over the weekend showed an increased possibility of Britain remaining in the European Union. Global markets went into a tizzy last week as investors unsure over the fallout of Britain's vote on Thursday fled to safe-haven assets such as the yen and gold.
Oil prices were on track to mark their largest two-day rise in a month as investor confidence in the risky asset rose and the strength of the dollar weakened.
