US equity markets extended their rally into a third session as Treasury yields retreated and as investors eyed another very busy US corporate earnings calendar - Dow climbed +337-points or +1.07%. The broader S&P500 +1.63%, with Real Estate (up +3.94%) and Materials (+2.53%) leading ten of the eleven primary sectors higher.
