TUESDAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

U.S. equities closed mixed on Monday as a rise in the financials sector helped offset losses from large-cap technology stocks.

The Dow Jones industrial average snapped a five-day losing streak, advancing about 15 points in choppy trade, with Goldman Sachs contributing the most gains. The 30-stock index briefly rose more than 100 points earlier in the session.

The S&P 500 closed flat, with utilities, telecommunications and financials leading advancers.

 The Nasdaq composite lagged, ending 0.3 percent lower as Facebook, Amazon and Alphabet gave up initial gains to close lower.

Dave Lutz, head of ETF trading at JonesTrading, said tech was led lower by a fall in semiconductor stocks, including last year’s best-performing S&P component Nvidia. The stock traded about 1 percent lower.

Technology stocks rebounded last week from a two-week swoon, rising 2.27 percent. The sector has been the stalwart of the U.S. stock market this year, advancing more than 20 percent.
