U.S. stocks faced headwinds in early trading on Monday as investors awaited the release of another batch of earnings and key economic data this week.
The S&P 500 Index decreased 0.2%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite declined 0.5% following volatile trading in the previous week.
Sharp swings in technology and software service providers last week weakened market sentiment as investors worried about the sustainability of elevated spending for artificial intelligence.
Benchmark indexes rebounded 2% on Friday following significant losses earlier in the week as investors searched for bargains after an eight-day decline in tech stocks.
Moreover, last week saw wild swings in gold and silver prices due to the elevated geopolitical tensions, renewed fears of trade frictions, and persistent worries about the U.S. federal government debt.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is scheduled to release the delayed January's nonfarm payrolls report on Wednesday, and the critically watched labor market report was initially scheduled to release last Friday.
This week investors are looking forward to the release of quarterly results from Applied Materials, Cisco, Coca-Cola Company, DoorDash Inc., Ford Motor Company, McDonald's, Medtronic, Moody's Corp., and S&P Global.
