Just after today's final bell, the $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ closed +0.95%, the        $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ climbed 0.28%, and the     $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ stole the show, up 1.45%.

Looking ahead to the second half of the week, the Federal Reserve will release minutes from its September meeting on Wednesday.

And it's a new week, a new hurricane. Hurricane Milton may impact Florida in the upcoming days. While Milton weakened a little Tuesday,  Tampa is bracing for a Wednesday hit.
