US Markets

The Dow and S&P 500 edged lower on Monday, dragged down by investor worries over the timing of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve after stronger-than-expected manufacturing data pushed Treasury yields higher. The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) said its manufacturing PMI increased to 50.3 last month, the highest and first reading above 50 since September 2022, from 47.8 in February. It suggested the manufacturing sector, which has been battered by higher interest rates, was recovering.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 240.52 points, or 0.60%, to 39,566.85. The S&P 500 lost 10.58 points, or 0.20%, to 5,243.77. The Nasdaq Composite gained 17.37 points, or 0.11%, to 16,396.83, according to a Reuters report.
