How major US stock indexes fared Monday

The S&P 500 index rose 1.92 points, or 0.1 per cent, to 2,709.80.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 53.22 points, or 0.2 per cent, to 25,053.11.

The Nasdaq composite added 9.71 points, or 0.1 per cent, to 7,307.90.

The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks gained 12.59 points, or 0.8 per cent, to 1,518.98.

For the year:

The S&P 500 is up 202.95 points, or 8.1 per cent.
