Major U.S. stock-indexes rose on Monday, spurred by increased investor confidence in the U.S. economy following a stellar jobs report last week. Utilities and telecom service stocks, considered defensive investments, were lower. Much of how the indexes perform over the next few weeks will depend of the quality of second-quarter corporate earnings, which kick off with Alcoa (AA) reporting results after markets close on Monday.

Most of Dow stocks in positive area (28 of 30). Top looser - UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (UNH, -0,29%). Top gainer - The Boeing Company (BA, +1,68%).

Most of all S&P sectors in positive area. Top looser - Conglomerates (-0,2%). Top gainer - Financial (+0,9%).
