The S&P 500 gained 44.31 points, or 1.01 per cent, to 4,411.79 and the Nasdaq Composite added 152.39 points, or 1.04 per cent, to 14,836.99.Asian shares struggled to rally on Monday as super-strong US corporate earnings sucked funds out of emerging markets and into Wall Street, where records were falling almost daily.
