Beaten-down tech shares led the rebound in U.S. stocks, while Treasuries fell as investors gained confidence from positive political developments in Europe and rising oil prices. The S&P 500 Index rallied back from its worst week in a month, led by FAANG shares. The 10-year Treasury yield rose amid signs of progress in two standoffs that have continually rattled markets -- Italy's fiscal woes and Brexit -- and ahead of a slew of Federal Reserve speakers this week, including chair Jerome Powell. The dollar edged higher, while West Texas crude rallied above $51 a barrel following a more than 7% slide on Friday. Italy's bonds jumped as state officials began studying scenarios for a lower 2019 budget deficit target. The pound gained after European Union leaders signed off over the weekend on the proposed Brexit plan. Investors will scour this week's Fed speech and policy minutes for clues on the future of rates. After stock markets skidded last week, and with bond traders reducing expectations for the pace of U.S. monetary policy tightening, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has the opportunity to shed light on prospects for a pause in a speech Wednesday. The sit-down between Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump has heightened hopes of a resolution to the trade war ahead of the next escalation of tariffs.
