Wall Street closed with mixed results on Monday as investors cautiously await a series of crucial economic reports this week, particularly the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data due Wednesday. The market’s performance reflects the anticipation surrounding these reports, which are expected to provide insights into inflation trends and consumer spending patterns. Investors are especially focused on how this data might influence the Federal Reserve’s upcoming interest rate decisions. With the Dow Jones falling slightly while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq made modest gains, the market’s mixed performance underscores the uncertainty and careful positioning ahead of potentially market-moving economic indicators and major retailer earnings reports.
