However, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 62 points on Monday. The decline in consumer and energy stocks offset growth in the financials and industrial stocks on the index.

Major technology companies including Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Facebook and Qualcomm will also report their first quarter results this week.
A quarter of S&P 500 companies have already announced their March quarter results and most of them reportedly exceeded the street estimates.
