US close: Stocks mixed as traders await inflation data, Q1 earnings
(Sharecast News) - Wall Street stocks were little changed at the close of trading on Monday as major indices stalled ahead of key inflation data and first-quarter corporate earnings later in the week. At the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.03% at 38,892.80, while the S&P 500 lost 0.04% to 5,202.39 and the Nasdaq Composite saw out the session 0.03% firmer at 16,253.96.
The Dow closed 11.24 points lower on Monday, taking a small bite out of gains recorded on Friday after a stronger-than-expected jobs report left market participants hopeful that a strong US economy may remain supportive of corporate earnings growth.
Scope Markets' Joshua Mahony said: "Today represents the calm before the storm, with a largely empty economic calendar giving way to a week that sees US inflation, three monetary policy decisions, and the commencement of the third first quarter US earnings season.
"The impressive strength of the US jobs market may be good news for those hoping to see another set of strong earnings for Q1, yet we could be in for a rude awakening when the US CPI inflation gauge is reported on Wednesday."
No major data points were released on Monday but traders were patiently waiting for the publication of March's consumer and producer price indexes, due out on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.
Investors also continued to navigate rising bond yields and oil prices, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note surging to 4.430% on Monday, while US crude oil briefly touched $87.00 per barrel last week amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
In the corporate space, Tesla shares closed 4.90% higher after chief executive Elon Musk revealed the group's robotaxi would be unveiled in August.
