July 22 (Reuters) -Wall Street's three benchmarks closed higher onMonday as investors returned to megacap growth stocks, helping both the S&P 500 .SPX and Nasdaq Composite .IXIC recover from their worst weekly performance since April.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI was also back in positive territory, breaking a two-session skid since hitting an all-time closing high last Wednesday.
Megacaps Alphabet GOOGL.O, Meta Platforms META.O and Tesla TSLA.O all advanced after being major drags on the market last week.
Nvidia NVDA.O also rose after Reuters reported the artificial intelligence chip leader was working on a version of its new flagship AI chips for the China market that would be compliant with current U.S. export controls.
The Information Technology index .SPLRCT toppedsectoral gainers, snappinga four-day losing streak.
"We think this move today probably has more to do with a rebound from the selling that occurred last week than anything else," said Jason Pride, chief of investment strategy & research at Glenmede.
Chief among the other factors on traders' minds was areexamination of the state of the presidential race after U.S. President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris' candidacy for the November election on Sunday.
Biden's exit could prompt investors to unwind trades on bets that a victory for Republican Trump would increase U.S. fiscal and inflationary pressures. But some analysts said markets could benefit from an increased chance of a divided government under the next administration.
Online betting site PredictIt showed pricing for a Donald Trump victory slipped 4 cents to 60 cents, while climbing 12 cents for a Harris win to 39 cents.
Trump-linked stocks were mixed on Monday, with Trump Media & Technology Group DJT.O dropping, while software firm Phunware PHUN.O gained.
The question of who will be on the Democratic presidential ticket compounds investor unease ahead of quarterly earnings, including from two of the so-called Magnificent Seven companies - Alphabet and Tesla TSLA.O.
The results will test whether the recent rally in top-tier high-momentum stocks is tenable and if a move to underperforming sectors will continue.
"We're seeing the market begin to price in a little bit a faster set of rate cuts, and that is leading to a bit of a shift in leadership to favor smaller-cap stocks and to deviate from the focus on the largest tech companies," said Glenmede's Pride.
"Obviously today looks a little bit different to that, but it's still a trend in the background."
According to preliminary data, the S&P 500 .SPX gained 60.22 points, or 1.09%, to end at 5,565.22 points, while the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC gained 280.63 points, or 1.57%, to 18,004.62. The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI rose 126.30 points, or 0.32%, to 40,417.75.
Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike CRWD.O slumped, extending losses after a software update from the company sparked Friday's global tech outage.
Delta Air Lines DAL.N dropped aftercanceling over 600 flights as it struggled to restore operations after the outage.
Verizon Communications VZ.N fell after a second-quarter revenue miss.
Mattel Inc MAT.O jumped after Reuters reported the toy maker had been approached by buyout firm L Catterton with an acquisition offer.
