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.
