A morning rally for U.S. stocks petered out as the tech and AI industries remained shaky following their sell-off last week. The S&P 500 fell 0.5% Monday after erasing a gain that reached 1.1% early in the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.4%, while the Nasdaq composite fell 1.1%. The mixed performance for indexes came even though the majority of stocks within the S&P 500 climbed. They benefited from a 7.6% drop for the price of a barrel of Brent crude. Nvidia and Alphabet swung from early gains to losses and helped drag the S&P 500 with them.
