Here's Why Simon Property Group, Tanger Outlets, and Other Retail REITs Are Soaring on Monday

The stock market was having a day for the history books on Monday. After Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) released late-stage data for its COVID-19 vaccine candidate that showed better-than-expected effectiveness, the Dow Jones Industrial Average opened at an all-time high. And as of 9:55 a.m. EST, the S&P 500 had risen by about 3% for the day.
