Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), C&J Energy Services (NYSE: CJ), and CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ: CRWD) were among the top performers. The stock market enjoyed modest gains on Monday as investors waited patiently to see if the Federal Reserve would come through with an interest rate cut when it meets later this week. Amid some signs of a slowdown in the U.S. economy and no hint of inflationary pressure, market participants have watched as bonds signaled a high likelihood of lower rates within the next month.
