US stocks rose on Monday as investors assessed the outlook for interest rates into 2024, kicking off the short trading week on a positive note.

Traders have raised their expectations for the Fed to cut rates sometime early next year, thanks to inflation running at a below-expected 3.2% yearly pace in October. Markets are now pricing in a 29% chance the Fed could trim interest rates 25 basis points by March, up from 28% on Friday and 10.5% a week ago, according to the CME FedWatch tool.
