The US markets ended in red on Monday as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's congressional testimony will be in focus for clues about the outlook for interest rates. Powell is due to testify before the House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday and the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday. After a weak start and a subsequent long spell in negative territory, US stocks briefly managed to turn positive in the final hour, but failed to find support and ended marginally down on Monday. The mood was cautious right through the day's session due to a lack of major U.S. economic data. Traders largely stayed on the sidelines ahead of a slew of key events this week.
On Tuesday, the Institute for Supply Management is due to release its report on service sector activity in the month of February. In the stock specific developments, Tesla dropped more than 7 percent. Walgreens Boots Alliance, Target, Alphabet, Pfizer, Apple Inc., Nike and Merck lost 2 to 4 percent. However, Intel, Nvidia, IBM, Bank of America, Ford Motor, Qualcomm, eBay, Walt Disney, General Electric, Wells Fargo, Costco and Citigroup posted strong gains.
Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 97.55 points or 0.25 percent to 38,989.83, Nasdaq lost 67.43 points or 0.41 percent to 16,207.51 and S&P 500 was down by 6.13 points or 0.12 percent to 5,130.95.
