Major US stock indices added more than a percentage on Monday amid a decline in the Irma hurricane category to a tropical storm, which eased fears about its impact on economic growth.

Meanwhile, concern about a possible military conflict with North Korea has also declined. On the eve of the weekend, many feared that on Saturday and Sunday, the DPRK will conduct another missile test, but this time these fears were not justified. Instead, North Korea on Saturday celebrated the 69th anniversary of its founding, glorifying scientists for the massive nuclear tests that were held last week. Despite some decrease in tension, the risks of the situation worsening are still very high.

In the focus of attention are shares of Apple (AAPL), which is expected to present tomorrow its new "anniversary" iPhone, as well as a number of other products.

Almost all components of the DOW index recorded a rise (27 out of 30). The leader of growth was the shares of The Dow Chemical Company (DWDP, + 2.87%). Outsider was the shares of The Home Depot, Inc. (HD, -0.92%).

All sectors of the S & P index finished trading in positive territory. The financial sector grew most (+ 1.6%).

At closing:

DJIA + 1.15% 22.047.41 +249.62

Nasdaq + 1.10% 6.430.23 +70.04

S & P + 1.04% 2,487.08 +25.65

U.S. stock-index futures were higher on Monday as Hurricane Irma weakened and North Korea marked its government's 69th anniversary not with another missile test, as many feared, but numerous events, giving investors some relief.
