⚠️BREAKING: *U.S. STOCK FUTURES POINT TO FIFTH STRAIGHT DAY OF GAINS AHEAD OF INFLATION DATA - 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
NEW YORK - Wall Street extended its winning streak on Monday, rallying to a sharply higher close as investors awaited crucial inflation data that could provide clues about the duration and severity of the Federal Reserve's tightening policy.
