Wall Street had an early rally to start the week and as we look ahead somewhere around 144 companies from the S&P 500 and a third from the Dow Jones are due to post earnings reports which include Facebook and Coca Cola.

On that note, the DJIA closed higher by 0.1% with shares of Haliburton Co. surging 9.2% and Equifax Inc. too rising by 0.4% following the company’s settlement of $700 million with U.S. regulators.

The S&P 500 edged higher by 0.3% while the Nasdaq increased by 0.7% as Apple shares rose by 2.3% following Morgan Stanley’s price target from $231 to $247.
