MARKETS GLOBAL-Shares rise, U.S. stocks at record high; oil gains
[Reuters - UK Focus] - NEW YORK (Frankfurt: HX6.F - news) , Feb 24 (Reuters) - Stocks on Wall Street surged to an all-time high on Monday on optimism over merger activity that also lifted global equities markets, while crude oil prices rose, helped by expectations of revived growth in the demand for oil. U.S. stocks advanced in a broad rally, pushing the benchmark S&P 500 to a record as the Nasdaq punched to a new high for 2014 and levels last seen almost 14 years ago, when the technology bubble was imploding. A surprise improvement in German business morale added to optimism over the euro zone's recovery, helping to boost European shares. The lifting of Spain's sovereign debt rating one notch by Moody's Investors Service Inc. also helped boost European shares.
