**Wall Street Opens Higher as Banking Fears Ease and Earnings Season Picks Up**

**US stocks** opened higher on Monday as investor sentiment improved following last week’s sell-off in regional banks and ahead of a busy week of **corporate earnings reports**.

The **S&P 500** climbed **0.7% to 6,708.79**, the **Dow Jones Industrial Average** rose **0.5% to 46,398.58**, and the **Nasdaq Composite** advanced **0.9% to 22,874.08** in early trading.

The rebound follows sharp declines on Friday, triggered by warnings from **Western Alliance Bank** and **Zions Bank**, which revealed they had been affected by **bad or potentially fraudulent loans**, sparking renewed concerns over the health of US regional lenders.

By Monday, however, **investor nerves appeared to have settled**, with financial stocks recovering some losses. Attention has now turned to a **wave of earnings releases** from **New York-listed companies** expected throughout the week, which could provide further insight into the strength of the US economy and corporate resilience amid persistent inflation and high interest rates.
