Stocks rose on Monday as investors started another week full of second-quarter corporate earnings and inflation data on a high note. The Dow Jones Industrial Average soared over 400 points, while the S&P 500 Index and Nasdaq Composite added 0.90% and 0.60%, respectively.

Here's how the market settled on Monday:

S&P 500 Index (SPY  ): +0.90% or +40.48 points to 4,518.51

The week's strong start comes as much of the recent summer rally has lost steam, with all three market benchmarks ending the last week lower after new economic data showed the labor market was cooling. Another key inflation report is expected to capture much of the market's attention this week as investors look ahead towards the Federal Reserve's next policy decision in September.

PayPal (PYPL  ) on Monday launched a U.S. dollar-back stablecoin -- the first issued by a major U.S. financial institution as U.S. congressional leaders are set to vote to establish a federal regulatory framework for stablecoins.

Called PayPal USD, the stablecoin is designed to "transform payments in web3 and digitally native environments." The company said stablecoins work to reduce friction for virtual payments and allow direct transactions for developers. The digital coin is redeemable in dollars and is backed by dollar deposits, short-term U.S. treasuries and other cash equivalents.

"The shift toward digital currencies requires a stable instrument that is both digitally native and easily connected to fiat currency like the U.S. dollar," said CEO Dan Schulman in a statement. "Our commitment to responsible innovation and compliance, and our track record delivering new experiences to our customers, provides the foundation necessary to contribute to the growth of digital payments through PayPal USD."
