Rising technology stocks helped U.S. indexes recover more of
their holiday-season slide that bridged the new year.
The S&P 500 climbed 0.6% Monday, its second straight gain
following five straight losses. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
lost an early gain to slip 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite rose
1.2%.
Nvidia was the strongest force lifting the S&P 500 ahead of a
speech by CEO Jensen Huang at the annual CES convention in Las
Vegas after trading ends for the day. Treasury yields were
relatively steady after a report showed strength among U.S.
services businesses.
