  "account": "The Dow Jones Industrial Average reached a record close on Monday, surging 1.32% to 53,178.41 points. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also showed gains, finishing the day at 7,600.50 and 25,913.90, respectively. Technology stocks led the market's advance, with Meta Platforms, Amazon, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft all posting strong gains. The tech sector's strong performance marked a sharp contrast to July's significant losses, as stronger-than-expected earnings and a reduced demand for AI-related investments prompted renewed investor optimism. Oil prices declined after President Trump canceled planned strikes against Iran, signaling a potential resolution to the conflict. Meanwhile, Boeing shares jumped 7% following FAA approval of the 737 Max 7 aircraft, which had faced numerous delays and safety concerns. Despite its underperformance, Apple still showed growth, up nearly 13% in 2026.",
