Stocks rose for a fifth straight session, Bitcoin topped $84,000 and the dollar was on track for a one-year high, with investors continuing to bet those trades will benefit from President-elect Donald Trump's agenda.
Economically sensitive shares led gains, with the Russell 2000 of smaller firms hitting the highest since 2021. A closely watched gauge of banks climbed 2.8%. Most big techs fell, though Tesla Inc. jumped 7.8%. An equal-weighted version of the S&P 500 — where the likes of Apple Inc. carry the same heft as Dollar Tree Inc. — beat the US benchmark. That gauge is less impacted by the largest companies — providing a glimpse of hope the rally will broaden out.

The core consumer price index due on Wednesday, which excludes food and energy, likely rose at the same pace on both a monthly and annual basis compared to September's readings.
