(CNBC) — U.S. stocks finished modestly ahead on Monday after the first weekly gain for equities in 2015, as investors mulled results from Greek elections and winter weather on the East Coast.
In Greece, the anti-austerity Syriza party won 149 out of a 300 possible seats in Parliament.
The market had “already discounted an anti-austerity vote, and the lower euro should boost manufacturing and exports,” Peter Cardillo, chief market economist, Rockwell Global Capital, said.
