New York - Wall Street rose to fresh record closes on Monday, boosted by gains in banking and financial stocks while investors eyed this week's meeting of the US central bank in Washington.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.3%, to end the session at 22 331.35, while the S&P 500 rose 0.2% to 2 503.97, just a hair's breadth more than Friday's prior record finish.
