Wall Street stocks surged to fresh records on Monday on optimism over international trade talks and continued positive momentum from solid economic data and earnings.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 27.462, up 0.4 percent and over a hundred points above the previous all-time high in July.

The broad-based S&P 500 also gained 0.4 percent, rising to 3,078, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 0.6 percent to 8,433.

Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq ended at records on Friday. (AFP)
