At Monday’s close, the indices showed a mixed performance, reacting to the increase in long-term interest rates in the United States and the ISM industrial index, which pointed to greater strength in the country’s economy. The Dow Jones fell 74.15 points or 0.22% to 33,433.35 points. The S&P 500 rose 0.34 points or 0.01% to 4,288.39. The Nasdaq Composite rose 88.45 points or 0.67% to 13,307.77 points.
