Wall Street’s attempt at a rally fizzled Monday, with the major indexes rising in response to a Middle East cease-fire and then giving up most of their gains later in the day, the Associated Press reports.

Investors initially saw the cease-fire between Israel and Lebanon as a buying opportunity after last week’s losses, and the Dow Jones industrial average surged as much as 115 points. Light trading volumes, however, pointed to a lack of depth to the buying, and stocks retreated.

According to preliminary calculations, the Dow rose 9.84, or 0.09 percent, to 11,097.87. The Dow lost 1.36 percent last week. Broader stock indicators also rose. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index added 1.47, or 0.12 percent, to 1,268.21, and the Nasdaq composite index gained 11.33, or 0.55 percent, to 2,069.04.
