U.S. stock indexes drifted closer to records, coming off their stellar May.
The S&P 500 rose 0.4% Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite added 0.7%.
Each of the indexes had dropped nearly 1% in the morning following some discouraging updates on U.S. manufacturing. But stocks rallied back as the day progressed, and gains for a few influential Big Tech stocks helped the S&P 500 to rise even though the majority of stocks within it weakened.

The S&P 500 rose 24.25 points, or 0.4%, to 5,935.94.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 35.41 points, or 0.1%, to 42,305.48.
