Stocks closed mixed Monday with tech stocks lower after the market traded within a narrow range during much of a quiet session with the market at or near highs for the year.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 23.31 points, or 0.19 percent, to close at 12,400.03, the highest close since June 5, 2008. The blue-chip index started the second quarter solidly, closing higher on Friday amid optimism over a recovery in the labor market after data showed a drop in unemployment
The S&P 500 rose 0.46 points, or 0.03 percent, to close at 1,332.87, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq down 0.41 points, or 0.01 percent, to 2,789.19. The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, rose above 17.
