U.S. stocks coasted to a quiet finish to begin a week full of potentially market-moving events.
The S&P 500 edged up by less than 0.1 percent on Monday to set an all-time high for the sixth straight day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.1 percent, and the Nasdaq composite added 0.3 percent to its own record.
Stocks were steady after the United States and European Union agreed on the framework for a trade deal, one that still has many details to be worked out. Later this week will come Big Tech profit reports, a decision on interest rates by the Federal Reserve, and other highly anticipated reports.

The S&P 500 rose 1.13 points, or less than 0.1 percent, to 6,389.77.
