The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 0.12 percent, at 16,399.67, the S&P 500 ended up 0.91 percent, at 1,904.01

Bareksa.com - A measure of global equity markets rose on Monday after strong U.S. corporate results lifted Wall Street, despite a quarterly earnings miss from IBM, building on positive sentiment that grew out of a surge in Japanese shares.

On Wall Street, IBM shares closed down 7.1 percent at $169.10. While IBM's miss limited the Dow's gains, the index turned modestly higher before the end of the U.S. session, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq advanced.

"The fact that the Dow has been able to get positive with IBM's 13-point decline is pretty significant. It shows the overall strength in the market," said Philip Orlando, chief equity market strategist at Federated Investors in New York. "We're continuing to rebound off of oversold levels," he said.
