The US markets ended mostly lower on Monday as traders remained largely reluctant to build up positions as they looked ahead to the released of the inflation data and the minutes of the Federal Reserve's latest monetary policy meeting, for directional clues. Meanwhile, corporate earnings were again a source of volatility for stocks. Tyson Foods gained more than 12% after beating earnings expectations, while medical device maker Zimmer Biomet fell 9% after its report. Shares of Facebook-parent Meta fell more than 5%, continuing a post-earnings slide. The stock has now dropped 30% since the company’s quarterly report last Wednesday. And shares of Netflix, still struggling after the media giant issued weak guidance in January, fell another 2%.
So far 56% of S&P 500 companies have posted quarterly earnings, with 77% beating earnings estimates and 76% topping revenue expectations. However, there have been some disappointing results from high profile companies, including Meta and PayPal, that have sparked major pullbacks for some stocks. Besides, Shares of Spirit Airlines jumped 17% after Frontier Airlines announced a deal to merge with its low-cost competitor. The news appeared to boost sentiment among airlines generally, with shares of United rising more than 3%. Peloton shares surged nearly 21% on reports that Amazon and Nike are lining up as possible suitors for the interactive fitness equipment maker.
Nasdaq fell 82.34 points or 0.58 percent to 14,015.67 and S&P 500 was down by 16.66 points or 0.37 percent to 4,483.87, while Dow Jones Industrial Average added 1.39 points to 35,091.13.
