Mixed Day For Stock Market

It was a mixed start to the week for the stock market. The Nasdaq spent much of the day in positive territory and ended 0.49% higher. The opposite was true for the Dow Jones and S&P, however, as they ended down 0.36% and 0.08% respectively.

The Dow continues to hover around the 12% gains mark under President Joe Biden, while the Nasdaq has passed 5% following today’s rise.
