NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks wobbled in afternoon trading on Monday, as investors looked ahead to this week’s deluge of company earnings and remained concerned about the economic damage likely to result from a rise in coronavirus cases in some countries.
The S&P 500 was up 0.2% as of 2:43 p.m. Eastern after shifting between small gains and losses earlier in the day. The Nasdaq composite rose 0.5% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 105 points, or 0.3%, at 30,891, mostly due to financial companies like Goldman Sachs and American Express.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 1.03% from 1.07% late Friday.
Several big companies will report their results this week, including technology titan Apple. The iPhone maker will report its results on Wednesday after the closing bell. Others reporting this week include American Express, Johnson & Johnson, 3M and AT&T.
