Major U.S. stock-indexes rose on Monday, building on the record-setting rally of the past few weeks, as oil prices jumped. Oil hit a one-month high of about $48 on rising speculation that major producers may try to work out ways to support prices in an oversupplied market. Strong economic data, upbeat corporate earnings and low interest rates have stoked appetite for U.S. equities, driving all three major indexes to record highs.
