Dow Slips Amid Weak Manufacturing Data While Nvidia Buoys Nasdaq, S&P 500
US stocks were mixed, with the $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ weighed down by weak manufacturing data, while the $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ and the $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ got a boost from gains in $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$.
Trading in some of the stocks, including $Berkshire Hathaway-A (BRK.A.US)$ were temporarily halted before 10 a.m. Monday in New York after a technical glitch that sent shares in the company led by billionaire Warren Buffett tumbling as much 99.97%. The New York Stock Exchange said the technical problem that also affected $Barrick Gold (GOLD.US)$, $Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG.US)$ among other stocks, was resolved. Trades executed during the glitch were likely invalidated, MarketWatch reported, citing experts it didn't name.
The S&P 500 added 0.1% to 5,283.40, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 0.6% to 16,828.67. The Dow slipped 0.3% to 38571.03.
Economic activity in the manufacturing sector shrank in May for a second straight month as demand slowed, according to the Institute of Supply Management (ISM). The gauge for new orders also contracted while the production index slipped 1.1 percentage points, even as it remained in expansionary territory.
The ISM manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) fell to 48.7, sinking deeper below the 50 level that delineates expansion and contraction.
“Demand remains elusive as companies demonstrate an unwillingness to invest due to current monetary policy and other conditions," Timothy R. Fiore, chair of the ISM manufacturing business survey committee said in a report Monday.
Gold futures gained as Treasury yields dropped and the dollar weakened, boosting the appeal of the precious metal that doesn't offer holders any income.
Crude oil fell after the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, known as OPEC+ outlined on Sunday their plans to gradually unwind their production cuts through late 2025, according to a Bloomberg report.
