Wall Street drifted a bit higher after a day of mixed trading. The S&P 500 added 0.3% Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.5%. All three are near their all-time highs set a week ago. Technology stocks recovered some of their losses from last week, while oil companies sank with the price of crude. This week’s highlight for Wall Street is scheduled for Friday, when the latest monthly update on the job market is due.

They’re using one of their few points of leverage to demand Congress take up legislation to extend health care benefits.
An attorney for the 22-year-old man charged with killing Charlie Kirk has asked a judge for more time to review the large amount of evidence before deciding if the defense will seek a preliminary hearing.
