U.S. stocks traded well off session highs in late-morning trade Monday, with a decline in Facebook contributing to the midday retreat. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1%, but it had previously gained more than 2% on the day. The S&P 500 was up 0.6%, less than half the 2% increase it had seen earlier in the session, which had represented its biggest one-day percentage gain since November 2016. The Nasdaq Composite Index rose 0.5%. The index, which is heavily weighted toward large-capitalization technology and internet stocks, previously rose 2.1%. Facebook fell 5.6%, with losses accelerating after the Federal Trade Commission said it was investigating the company's privacy practices. The social-media giant has been under tremendous selling pressure of late, and it is down more than 20% from its recent record high, a decline that puts it into bear-market territory. Despite Facebook's weakness, the technology sector remained up 1.1% on the day, and all 11 primary S&P 500 sectors were in positive territory. The gains on the day came on signs that concerns over a potential trade war were waning.
Facebook Inc. officially entered bear-market territory on Monday, as selling in the social-media giant persisted amid the scandal surrounding how it has handled user data. The stock fell 4% and was the biggest percentage decliner on the S&P 500, which was otherwise on track for one of its best sessions in years. With the day's drop, Facebook is now 22% from a record high hit earlier this year, which means it is in a bear market, typically defined as a drop of 20% or more. The stock has been sharply pressured of late, and last week suffered its biggest one-week drop in six years. The losses have come amid the news that Cambridge Analytica, which the Trump campaign used during the 2016 presidential election, harvested the personal data of 50 million Facebook users without their permission. On Monday, the Federal Trade Commission said it was investigating Facebook's privacy practices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.6% on Monday while the S&P 500 was up 1.4% and the Nasdaq Composite Index added 1.5%.
Shares of General Electric Co. fell on Monday, bucking the sharply upward trend of the broader market as the beleagured industrial conglomerate continued to struggle. The stock fell 1.5% to $12.88, dropping below $13 for the first time since July 2009. GE is on track for its third straight daily decline, as well as its eighth negative session of the past 10. At current levels, it is down more than 26% in 2018, and it has lost more than half its value over the past 12 months. The company has been struggling for years, with the stock recently pressured by downbeat profit outlooks, a halved dividend, and an accounting probe by the Securities and Exchange Commission, among other factors. The stock was the only one of the 30 Dow components to be negative on Monday. The Dow gained 1.5% while the S&P 500 was up 1.3% and the Nasdaq Composite Index was up 1.4%.
TD Ameritrade on Monday said reports of a systemwide outage on its platform were inaccurate and said issues before the open were limited to clients being unable to see balance and position information on the trading outfit's website. A spokeswoman said the technical issue was resolved before the start of regular trade, emphasizing that the ability to trade wasn't affected. "The ability to trade wasn't impacted. This issue didn't impact other platforms, such as Thinkorswim or our Mobile Trader app, and service was restored by market open," she said. News about the technical problem was https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/26/broker-td-ameritrade-suffers-system-wide-outage.html. Shares of TD Ameritrade were up 1.9% early Monday, and have gained 13.1% so far in 2018, compared with a 3.3% decline for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and a loss of 1.8% for the S&P 500 index , and a gain of 2.9% for the Nasdaq Composite Index over the same stretch.
Shares of Adobe Systems Inc. and Microsoft Corp. are up in Monday trading after the two companies announced an extension of their China partnership. Adobe's stock is up 3.4%, while Microsoft's is up 5.9%. The companies also announced new native integrations between the Adobe Experience Manager and Microsoft Azure, among other products. Also on Monday, a Morgan Stanley analyst raised his Microsoft price target to $130, the highest on Wall Street, according to FactSet. Adobe shares have gained 74% over the past year, while Microsoft shares are up 42%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 16% over the past 12 months, compared with a 12% gain for the S&P 500 .
U.S. stocks rallied on Monday, with the S&P 500 on track for its biggest one-day jump since before the 2016 presidential election. The benchmark index surged 1.8% in what was set to be its best session since Nov. 7, 2016, the final trading session before President Donald Trump's unexpected victory. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 2.1% while the Nasdaq Composite Index was up 2%; however, that only represented the best session for the two since early February. The day's advance was broad-based, with all 11 of the primary S&P 500 sectors higher on the day. The rally came as concerns over a potential trade war between the U.S. and China appeared to fade.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged more than 400 points at the open on Monday, with almost all of its 30 components in positive territory, as trade-war fears eased somewhat. The Dow was led by gains in Boeing Co. and Microsoft Corp. , which were helping the price-weighted index rally, after the stock market logged one of its worst weeks in years. Only shares of General Electric were wavering. The Dow was most recently up about 500 points, or 2.1%, at 24,024. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 was up 1.8% at 2,636, while the Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 1.9% at 7,126. Last week, stock benchmarks finished sharply lower on the back of fears about trade conflict between the U.S. and China, but a report from The Wall Street Journal signaled that the two parties are in currently negotiating, suggesting that a full-fledged trade war may yet be averted.
U.S. stocks rose broadly on Monday, as concerns over the prospect of a trade war appeared to fade. The day's gains were widespread, with all 11 of the primary S&P 500 sectors higher on the day. Leading the day's advance, however, was the financial sector, which climbed 2.7%. Technology also outperformed on the day, adding 2.5%. Among the biggest gainers of the financial sector, Goldman Sachs climbed 2.5% while Morgan Stanley , Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were all up more than 3%. In the tech sector, Microsoft Corp. surged 5.5% in its biggest one-day percentage jump since October. Separately, Apple Inc. gained more than 2%. Weighing on the tech sector, however, was Facebook , which fell 2% as the biggest decliner among S&P 500 components. The social-media giant continues to weather the fallout from a scandal about how it has handled user data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 1.9% while the S&P 500 jumped 1.7% and the Nasdaq Composite Index was up 1.9%.
