FILE – The facade of the New York Stock Exchange, is seen Wednesday, June 16, 2021. Stocks are wobbling between small gains and losses in the early going on Wall Street, keeping major indexes close to the record highs they set last week. The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average were little changed in the early going Monday, July 26. (AP Photo/Richard Drew, File) Stocks wobbled between small gains and losses on Wall Street Monday as investors pause after the market rallied to more record highs last week. The S&P 500 index rose 0.1% as of 12:56 p.m. and is hovering close to the record it set on Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 20 points, or 0.1%, to 35,082 and the Nasdaq fell 0.1%. Gains from consumer-oriented companies were kept in check by a drop from big technology and health care stocks. Best Buy rose 1.2%. Chipmaker Nvidia fell 1.9% and insurer UnitedHealth Group fell 1.6%. Chinese technology companies slipped as China increases restrictions on internet apps and other companies. China’s industry ministry announced a 6-month campaign to clean up what it says are serious problems with internet apps violating consumer rights, cyber security and “disturbing market order.” Internet giant Tencent’s U.S.-listed shares fell 4.3% following orders by regulators to end exclusive contracts with music copyright holders. The announcement pulled most indexes in Asia lower. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng sank 4.1%, marking its biggest drop in more than a year, and the Shanghai Composite index fell 2.3%. Investors are still monitoring a steady flow of corporate earnings this week and listening for any updates from the Federal Reserve about potential policy changes on bond purchases and interest rates. The central bank will meet this week and a statement on interest rate policy is scheduled for Wednesday. Investors are looking for more information on how the Fed will react to continued economic growth, but with the virus pandemic still lingering as a threat. Wall Street expects the central bank to eventually taper its support, but is looking for clues on how much of a pullback will occur and how soon. “The mood still revolves around inflation and whether it is transitory or not,” said Keith Buchanan, senior portfolio manager at Globalt Investments. A wide range of companies reported earnings. While the results have been mostly solid, Wall Street’s reaction has been mixed. Elevator maker Otis rose less than 1%, despite reporting solid financial results, while toymaker Hasbro jumped 13.3% after handily beating analysts’ profit forecasts. Electric vehicle maker Tesla will report its latest financial results after the market closes. Investors are awaiting earnings reports from several large companies this week. Google’s parent company, Alphabet, will report earnings Tuesday, along with Apple and Microsoft. Pfizer and Boeing report their results on Wednesday. Electric vehicle company Lucid Motors rose 9% in its public debut after being bought by blank-check company Churchill Capital Corp. The price of Bitcoin rose 13% to $38,800, according to Coindesk. Amazon is reportedly considering accepting it as payment and considering its own cryptocurrency for purchases.
