U.S. stock indexes drifted through mixed trading ahead of a meeting by the Federal Reserve later this week that could set Wall Street’s direction into next year.
The S&P 500 rose 0.4% Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.3%, and the Nasdaq composite rose 1.2% to a record.
Tech stocks led the way, and Broadcom helped lead the market again amid excitement about its artificial-intelligence offerings.
Bitcoin hit a record above $107,000 before pulling back, while Treasury yields held relatively steady in the bond market ahead of Wednesday’s Fed meeting. The widespread expectation is for another cut to rates.
