The S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq Composite all hit new record highs on Monday as the post-election surge for stocks continued.

While the Dow and Nasdaq had previously set new records in the past few trading days, this is the first time the S&P 500 has joined them during the run up in recent weeks.

In addition to the stock market history, we've got all of the day's top business news, but first, the scoreboard:

• Dow: 18.956.69, +88.76, (+0.47%)
• S&P 500: 2,198.18, +16.28, (+0.75%)
