The US markets ended mostly in green on Monday. The advance by the Nasdaq reflected strength in the tech sector, with semiconductor stocks turning in a particularly strong performance on the day. Chipmaker Micron Technology (MU) helped lead the way higher, surging by 3.0 percent after Morgan Stanley upgraded its rating on the company's stock to Equal Weight from Underweight. Ai darling Nvidia (NVDA) also shot up by 2.5 percent ahead of the release of its fiscal first quarter results after the close of trading on Wednesday.
However, a steep drop by shares of JPMorgan Chase (JPM) weighed on the Dow, with the financial giant tumbling by 4.5 percent after ending last Friday's trading at a record closing high. The pullback by JPMorgan came after CEO Jamie Dimon implied during remarks at the company's annual investor day that he may retire in fewer than five years. Besides, overall trading remained somewhat subdued as traders seemed reluctant to make more significant bets amid a lack of major U.S. economic data on the day.
Nasdaq rose 108.91 points or 0.65 percent to 16,794.87 and S&P 500 was up by 4.86 points or 0.09 percent to 5,308.13, while Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 196.82 points or 0.49 percent to 39,806.77.
