NEW YORK: Wall Street stocks finished little changed Monday (Apr 28) in the first day of a news-jammed week that includes earnings from several tech giants and major economic data releases.
Major indices meandered in and out of positive territory in a session devoid of the major economic news catalysts set for the coming days. These include the April jobs report, major inflation data and earnings from Apple and Amazon.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished up 0.3 percent at 40,227.59.
The broad-based S&P 500 gained 0.1 per cent to 5,528.75, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index dipped 0.1 per cent to 17,366.13.
Stocks had risen the last four days after the White House shifted towards a more conciliatory tone on trade, and President Donald Trump said he didn’t plan to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell after earlier suggesting the move was possible.
