Wall Street’s main indexes were muted at the start of a holiday-shortened week on Monday (Dec 23), as a stopgap government funding bill averted a partial shutdown and investors contended with a slower pace of rate cuts from the US central bank next year.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 39.8 points, or 0.09 per cent, at the open to 42,800.49. The S&P 500 rose 9.4 points, or 0.16 per cent, at the open to 5,940.25, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 68.5 points, or 0.35 per cent, to 19,641.05 at the opening bell. REUTERS
