NEW YORK — The U.S. stock market finished with tiny gains Monday as investors weigh corporate earnings, mergers, and the implications of an election victory in Greece by a party opposed to that country’s bailout plan.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 1.82 percent from 1.80 percent late Friday.
