The S&P 500 is fighting to trade above its 200-day moving average--a key technical level

The S&P 500 index on Monday flirted with trading below an important, long-term trend line as selling intensified early Monday. The S&P 500 index was off 1.8% at 2,594, barely above its 200-day moving average at 2,589.93, according to FactSet data. Technical analysts pay attention to moving averages to help gauge bullish and bearish momentum in an asset. The Dow Jones Industrial Average , meanwhile, was down 300 points, or 1.3%, at 23795, while the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, turned negative for the year. The S&P 500 last closed below its 200-day MA on Feb. 9, a day after the Dow and S&P 500 fell into correction territory, defined as a drop of at least 10% from a recent high.

Dow sees 300-point slump despite 80-point lift from McDonald's, UnitedHealth's stocks

The Dow Jones Industrial Average on Monday was under heavy selling pressure early Monday, despite a lift from shares of McDonald's Corp. and UnitedHealth Group Inc. . The shares of the pair of Dow components were among the few blue-chip names in positive territory and providing a roughly 80-point boost to the price-weighted gauge. Still, that wasn't enough to prevent the Dow from sliding about 300 points, or 1.3%, at 23,803 in early trade. A selloff in internet and technology-focused stocks, extending last week's thrashing of those names, persisted to start trading in April. The S&P 500 index was off 1.7% at 2,594, with the S&P's tech sector down 2%, weighing on the broader market. The technology-and-internet-oriented Nasdaq Composite Index was down 2.2% at 6,905, turning negative for 2018.

Nasdaq nears correction territory as tech losses accelerate

The Nasdaq Composite Index fell sharply on Monday, turning lower for the year and nearing correction territory. The Nasdaq lost 2.3%, and is now down 9.7% from a record high hit last month. If the index were to drop 10% from its recent peak, that would put it into correction territory. Both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 have been in correction territory since February, though the Nasdaq has recently been supported by strength in large-capitalization technology and internet stocks, preventing losses of the magnitude. These sectors have turned lower of late, however, with Amazon.com Inc. and Facebook Inc. seeing particular weakness. Amazon fell into correction territory last week, while Facebook is in bear-market territory, defined as a 20% drop from a peak. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.3% on Monday while the S&P 500 was off 1.8%.

The Nasdaq sheds all of its gains for 2018, as stock market comes under pressure

The Nasdaq Composite Index early Monday gave up all of its gains for 2018, marking a stunning reversal of fortune for the index that has represented risk appetite on Wall Street throughout the market's brisk rally to records. The Nasdaq [c: COMP] was most recently off 2.4% at 6,896, clinging to just a 0.6% gain in 2018. The move lower would put the benchmark on the verge of joining the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 index , which turned negative for the year in the face of last month's sharp selloff. The Dow currently is down 3.7% for the year and the S&P 500 is off 2.9% so far in 2018. The Nasdaq was currently down 0.1% thus far this year.

S&P 500 falls 1%, tech and consumer-discretionary stocks weigh

U.S. stocks fell on Monday, with the S&P 500 falling 1% to its lows of the session as technology and consumer-discretionary stocks led the broad decline. The S&P fell 1.2%, and the day's losses were widespread, with 10 of the 11 primary S&P 500 sectors lower on the day. The only positive group was utilities, considered a defensive industry that outperforms in periods of economic uncertainty. The day's biggest declining sector was discretionary stocks, which lost 1.9%. However, that was almost entirely due to Amazon.com Inc. , which fell 4.2% after President Donald Trump resumed his twitter attacks against the online retailer, accusing it of exploiting the U.S. Postal Service and not paying its fair share of taxes, two charges that have been disputed by experts. Amazon accounts for about a fifth of the sector's market capitalization, according to FactSet data. In addition, Netflix Inc. fell 4.4% and was poised to close under a closely watched gauge for short-term momentum trends. The other primary declining sector was technology, which lost 1.8%. Among notable decliners of the sector, Facebook Inc. shed 2.2% while Google-parent company Alphabet Inc. was down 1.8%. Microsoft Corp. was down 1.9%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.7% while the Nasdaq Composite Index was off 1.8%.

Netflix shares slump, set for first close below short-term level of 2018

Shares of Netflix Inc. fell on Monday, with the online-moving streaming company poised to close below a closely watched level for the first time this year. The stock fell 3.5% and was on track for its sixth decline of the past eight. With the decline, Netflix fell below its 50-day moving average, a gauge that is seen as an indicator of short-term momentum trends. The stock hasn't closed below the level since Dec. 29, although it fell below it on an intraday basis in the past two sessions. Netflix's drop on Monday was part of a broader decline in large-capitalization technology and internet stocks, which have been among the market's biggest outperformers in recent months. Even with the day's drop, Netflix is up 48% in 2018 and 92% over the past 12 months. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.6% on Monday while the S&P 500 was down 1.1% and the Nasdaq Composite Index was down 1.7%.

Dow briefly loses grip at 24,000 as stock-market selling intensifies in early morning trade

The Dow Jones Industrial Average saw losses gather momentum in early trade Monday, with technology shares were taking a beating. Wall Street was closed in observance of Good Friday to end last week and European markets were closed for Easter Monday. The Dow was down 93 points, or 0.4%, at 24,008, the S&P 500 index slipped 0.9% at 2,618, while the technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index shed 95 points, or 1.4%, at 6,966, relinquishing a psychologically significant level above 7,000. Shares of Facebook Inc. , down 1.9%, and Amazon.com Inc. , off 3.7%, were among the worst performers in the battered internet-and-tech sector.

Nasdaq falls 1% as tech and internet stocks weigh

The Nasdaq Composite Index fell more than 1% on Monday, with a group of large-capitalization technology and internet stocks leading the move lower. The Nasdaq sank 1.3%, while the Nasdaq-100 index , which has a more concentrated exposure to the index's largest names, fell 1.4%. Among the biggest drags were shares of Amazon.com Inc. , which fell 3.9% after President Donald Trump resumed his twitter attacks against the online retailer, accusing it of exploiting the U.S. Postal Service and not paying its fair share of taxes, two charges that have been disputed by experts. Among other notable decliners, Netflix Inc. was down 3.5% while Facebook Inc. lost 1.6%. Google-parent Alphabet Inc. was down 1.4%. The four stocks are sometimes grouped together as "FANG" stocks; they were among the market's biggest outperformers in 2017. Among other weak points in the Nasdaq, Microsoft Corp. fell 1% on Monday. The S&P 500 was down 0.7% while the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.1%.

Dow falls, just one component holds above a short-term technical level

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell on Monday, and recent weakness has so impacted the blue-chip average that only one of the Dow's 30 components remains above a closely watched short-term technical level. The average fell 0.1% to 24,012 on Monday. It has dropped 1.9% over the past month, and it is down 9.6% from an all-time high hit earlier this year. With the declines, Intel Corp. is the only Dow component above its 50-day moving average, according to Bespoke Investment Group. The 50-day moving average is often viewed as a gauge of short-term momentum in an asset, and breaking decisively below it can signal deeper losses ahead. The Dow itself hasn't closed above its 50-day since March 9. The S&P 500 fell 0.6% on Monday while the Nasdaq Composite Index was down 1.1%.

Stock market kicks off April trade mostly lower; Humana's stock jumps on report of Walmart interest

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was modestly lower in early Monday trade, with investors reluctant to push shares higher coming off holidays for Easter and Passover. European markets, meanwhile, were closed in observance of Easter Monday. The Dow was down 45 points, or 0.2%, at 24,058, the S&P 500 index traded 0.6% lower at 2,624, while the technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index was off 1% at 6,991. Equity benchmarks traded skittishly on the heels of news that China was imposing tariffs on a range of U.S. agricultural goods, following through on a promise to retaliate against the Trump administration's penalties on imports of Chinese steel and aluminum. In corporate news, shares of Humana Inc. were up 7.6% after The Wall Street Journal last week reported that Walmart Inc. was considering a bid for the health-care provider. Shares of Walmart were off 2.3%. Most major stock markets were closed in observance of Good Friday.
