U.S. stocks ended higher after a volatile session, with the Nasdaq climbing 0.4% and the S&P 500 rebounding from earlier losses on strength in health-care names.

Michele Schneider, Chief Strategist, MarketGauge Group breaks down why investors seem unfazed by Washington gridlock, the risks of a weakening labor market, and whether momentum can continue in the face of stretched valuations and mounting economic uncertainty.
