Wall Street experienced mixed results on Monday, with the majority of stocks rallying while a slide in Nvidia shares weighed on U.S. indexes. The S&P 500 slipped 0.3 percent, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.7 percent, and the Nasdaq composite fell 1.1 percent.
Despite the overall gains in the market, the frenzy around artificial intelligence (AI) had a negative impact on some stocks. While seven out of every 10 stocks in the S&P 500 saw gains, the decline in Nvidia’s shares offset those gains, drawing attention to the company’s third consecutive drop.
In terms of sector performance, oil-and-gas and financial companies stood out with some of the market’s biggest gains. This positive trend was not enough to counterbalance Nvidia’s slide, however.
In relation to the bond market, Treasury yields experienced a slight decrease. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note slipped to 4.23 percent.
