NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. stock market is rising again on Monday, for now at least, ahead of a week with shortened trading because of the Thanksgiving holiday.

The S&P 500 climbed 0.9% and added to its jump from Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 72 points, or 0.2%, as of 10 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 1.7% higher.

Stocks got a lift from rising hopes that the Federal Reserve will cut its main interest rate again at its next meeting in December, a move that could boost the economy and investment prices.

The market also benefited from strength for stocks caught up in the artificial-intelligence frenzy. Alphabet, which has been getting praise for its newest Gemini AI model , rose 5.6% and was one of the strongest forces lifting the S&P 500. Nvidia
