[cnxvideo id=”506324″ placement=”ros”]April 3, 2017: The S&P 500 closed lower on the day, down 0.16% and 3.84 points to 2,358.87. Separately the DJIA closed down 0.06% on the day at 20,651.17, down approximately 12.05 points.

The broad markets traded relatively flat on Monday. The sectors slowing down the market were practically anything tied to autos, including manufacturers, dealerships, parts manufacturers, and auto parts stores. These were largely affected by slumping auto sales that were reported Monday morning. Health care providers were positive for the most part, as well as a few major tech companies. Otherwise, the markets were largely mixed.
