The markets soared higher to start the week as investors once again showed no fear of North Korea, Washington, or the recent storms. The Dow 30 was higher by 259, gaining 1.19%, the S&P 500 added 1.13%, and the Nasdaq 100 was higher by 1.08%. Tomorrow investors will have only a few, light news announcements to focus on. Job Openings, and a bond auction will steer sentiment early while Washington news could take over now that the storms have largely passed.

Tesla (TSLA  ) blasted off 5.91% today helping send the index higher as the car maker confirmed it is temporarily extending the battery life of certain models for drivers in Florida so they can evacuate.
