    Hot on the heels of a successful Friday, Monday morning showed signs of prosperity across several different markets in both Canada and the US.

    Friday was less kind to the S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index (INDEXTSI:JX), which dipped 3.1 points and ended the day at 826.09. Monday morning brought a head start, however, with the index opening at 833.5.

    Continuing a strong week was the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI), which had a massive 347.51-point boost on Friday to cap the week at 25,309.99 points. Monday morning was no exception for Dow, as the day kicked off at 25,403.35, a 93.36-point boost from Friday’s close.

    The S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) saw a rise of 43.34 points by the end of Friday, ending the week at 2,747.3. Monday morning started off in the green with an open of 2,757.37, a small gain of 10.07 points.
