NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks drifted to a mixed finish on Monday, ahead of potential flashpoints this week that could bring more sharp swings for financial markets.
The S&P 500 inched up by 0.1% to extend its winning streak to a fifth day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 114 points, or 0.3%, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.1%.
The relative lull in trading offered a respite from the sharp, historic swings that have rocked markets for weeks, as hopes rose and fell that President Donald Trump may back down on his trade war. Many investors believe Trump’s tariffs could cause a recession if left unaltered. Coming into Monday, the S&P 500 had roughly halved its drop that had taken it nearly 20% below its record set earlier this year.
Mixed trading for some influential tech stocks ahead of their earnings reports this week pulled the S&P 500 back and forth between modest gains and losses for much of Monday.
Amazon fell 0.7%, Microsoft dipped 0.2%, Meta Platforms added 0.4% and Apple rose 0.4%. All are on the schedule to report their latest result this week, and they’re some of Wall Street’s most influential companies because they’ve grown to become some of the biggest in terms of size, by far. That gives their movements extra weight on the S&P 500 and other indexes.
Outside of Big Tech, executives from Caterpillar, Exxon Mobil and McDonald’s may also offer clues this week about how they’re seeing economic conditions play out. Several companies across industries have already slashed their estimates for upcoming profit or pulled their forecasts entirely because of uncertainty about what will happen with Trump’s tariffs.
“We heard more plans to mitigate tariff impacts than in prior months and than during 2018” from U.S. companies, including pre-ordering, shifting production and increasing prices for their own products, according to Bank of America strategist Savita Subramanian. But she also said in a report that she’s seeing “some indications of a pause: no hiring/no firing, no new projects/no cancellations etc.”
A fear is that Trump’s on-again-off-again tariffs may be pushing households and businesses to alter their spending and freeze plans for long-term investment because of how quickly conditions can change, seemingly by the hour.
All told, the S&P 500 rose 3.54 points to 5,528.75. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 114.09 to 40,227.59, and the Nasdaq composite edged down by 16.81 to 17,366.13.
So far, economic reports have mostly seemed to show the U.S. economy is still growing, though at a weaker pace. On Wednesday, economists expect a report to say U.S. economic growth slowed to a 0.8% annual rate in the first three months of this year, down from a 2.4% pace at the end of last year.
But most reports Wall Street has received so far have focused on data from before Trump’s “Liberation Day” on April 2, when he announced tariffs that could affect imports from countries worldwide. That could raise the stakes for upcoming reports on the U.S. job market, including Friday’s, which will show how many workers employers hired during all of April.
Economists expect it to show a slowdown in hiring down to 125,000 from 228,000 in March.
The most jarring economic data recently have come from surveys showing U.S. consumers are getting much more pessimistic about the economy’s future because of tariffs. The Conference Board’s latest reading on consumer confidence will arrive on Tuesday.
In the bond market, Treasury yields fell some more. They’ve largely been sinking since an unsettling, unusual spurt higher in yields earlier this month rattled both Wall Street and the U.S. government. That rise had suggested investors worldwide may have been losing faith in the U.S. bond market’s reputation as a safe place to park cash.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.21% from 4.29% late Friday. It’s been pulling back recently as weaker-than-expected reports on the economy bolster expectations among investors that the Federal Reserve will deliver cuts to interest rates later this year. Such cuts could juice the economy by making it easier for households and companies to borrow and spend.
In stock markets abroad, indexes were mixed amid modest moves across much of Europe and Asia. The CAC 40 in Paris rose 0.5%, but stocks slipped 0.2% in Shanghai.

Murphy Finishes Sixth in Semifinal Heat of 1500 Meters at NCAA Championships Get Underway
Story Links EUGENE, Ore.—Villanova kicked off four days of competition at the 2025 NCAA Division I Track & Field Championships with national semifinal heats of the 1500 meters on Wednesday afternoon. Fifth year distance runner Liam Murphy (Millstone, N.J.) finished sixth in his heat and showed elite speed with a final lap […]

Murphy was an automatic qualifier for the semifinal round after two races at the NCAA East Preliminary in Jacksonville, Fla. two weeks ago. He raced in the first of two heats at Hayward Field on Wednesday and produced a closing 400 meters which shows why he has been on the cusp of a World Athletics Championship qualifying mark this season. Murphy’s final lap of 51.13 in his semifinal heat is just over three seconds faster than his bell lap of 54.18 at the Raleigh Relays earlier this year when he set the collegiate record of 3:33.02 in the 1500 meters.
By this point of the season any section of an event is going to be a strong one filled with competitors capable of winning a national title. That was true of the first heat in the 1500 meters, which featured nine runners (out of 12) who had run faster than 3:40 this season and five who were under 3:35 during their collegiate careers. The race went out slow for two-plus laps and the entire field came through the first seven meters in just over two minutes. Less than three-quarters of a second separated one through twelve in the ranks with both 800 meters left and at the bell.
It was almost as crowded at the finish line and Murphy was less than one-tenth of a second behind the runners who came in fourth and fifth in the race. Murphy wound up 18th overall in the semifinal round and will earn honorable mention All-America honors when those accolades are officially announced next week.
Murphy set the collegiate record of 3:33.02 at the Raleigh Relays on March 27 and is a qualifier for the USATF Outdoor Championships in Eugene from July 31-August 3. The top athletes coming out of that meet will be selected for the World Athletics Championship in Tokyo in September. Murphy’s PR and collegiate record is just two-hundredths of a second off the World Championship qualifying time of 3:33 flat.
Villanova continues competition at the NCAA Championships on Thursday night when senior women’s distance runner Sadie Sigfstead (Edmonton, Alta.) runs in the championship race of the 10000 meters. It is the second straight year that Sigfstead is running in this race. She came in 12th in her outdoor NCAA Championships debut last season and has run a PR of 32:39.54 this season.

Peyton Bair was the first Bulldog to compete in the championships, kicking the day off in the decathlon.
Bair broke the NCAA Decathlon 100m record in his first race of the day, earning a personal best of 10.25. He also broke the meet record, which he set at last year’s championships.
He has maintained the lead throughout the day, after earning a wind-legal long jump personal best of 7.28m. He also matched his high jump personal best with a 2.01m clearance.
Bair finished the day in the 400m, running another personal best of 46.00. He leads the field by 287 points, closing out day one with 4,479 points next to his name. He will resume competition in the 110m hurdles decathlon tomorrow morning.
Sam Navarro made his NCAA debut in a big way, running a massive personal best of 1:45.32 for the fastest time qualifying spot in the 800m final. This performance makes Navarro’s third consecutive personal best performance in as many meets, dropping over a second off his East First Rounds time. Navarro will compete in the 800m final on Friday evening.
Rémi Rougetet and Tuomas Närhi continued competition in the javelin, with Rougetet earning second-team All-American honors.
The women will begin competition tomorrow afternoon, beginning with Marie Rougetet in the hammer. She enters the field seeded 17th nationally and will be the final thrower in the first section.
Nelly Jemeli will touch the track later that afternoon in the 3000m steeplechase, with Jessicka Woods closing out the day in the 400m hurdles, both being semifinals.

EUGENE, Ore. – Graduate student Marcus Johnson was 22nd overall in the first round of the 400 hurdles at the NCAA Outdoor Championships on Wednesday evening at Hayward Field. In the process, he concluded his prolific career at Binghamton and will earn honorable mention All-America honors when the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches’ Association (USTFCCCA) makes their official announcement following the four-day meet.
Running in the second of three eight-runner heats, Johnson was seventh with a time of 52.27. The top two finishers in each heat – plus the next three fastest times, advanced to Friday’s final round.
The USTFCCCA will make its All-America announcement on Monday. Places 1-8 in each individual event earn first-team accolades while finishers 9-16 receive second-team status. Places 17-24, meanwhile, earn honorable mention distinction.
Johnson is the first Binghamton men’s track & field athlete to qualify for the NCAA Division I Outdoor Championships since Dan Schaffer in the 5,000 during the 2022 season. He is also the team’s fifth NCAA Division I outdoor qualifier all time, joining Schaffer, pole vaulter Rory Quiller (2006-08) as well as middle distance runners Erik van Ingen (2010-12) and Jesse Garn (2015-16).
For his career, Johnson is a five-time America East champion and two-time NCAA East Region qualifier. At last month’s conference outdoor meet, he was named the Most Outstanding Men’s Track Athlete.
