NEW YORK—Wall Street ticked higher Monday ahead of reports that will show how much a slowing economy is hurting what’s prevented a recession so far: solid spending by U.S. households.
The S&P 500 rose 12.20, or 0.3 percent, to 4,136.28, the latest tick higher in what’s been a listless weekslong run for the market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 47.98, or 0.1 percent, to 33,348.60, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 80.47, or 0.7 percent, to 12,365.21.
