Stocks traded mostly lower on Monday despite oil prices soaring as Treasury yields spiked ahead of a key Federal Reserve meeting.
The Dow Jones industrial average gained about 10 points, hitting a new record high, with Johnson & Johnson contributing the most gains. The S&P 500 fell 0.3 percent, after briefly hitting an all-time high, with a 1 percent decline in consumer discretionary offsetting gains in telecommunications. The Nasdaq composite underperformed, falling 0.7 percent.
The Fed's policymaking committee is set to begin a two-day meeting on Tuesday, where the U.S. central bank is largely expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points. According to the CME Group's FedWatch tool, market expectations for a rate hike this week are above 95 percent. 1
The S&P 500 fell 4 points, or 0.22 percent, to 2,254, with consumer discretionary leading five sectors lower and telecommunications leading advancers.
The Nasdaq composite dropped 39 points, or 0.73 percent, to 5,404

Investors also kept an eye on oil prices, as West Texas Intermediate futures for January delivery gained 2.58 percent to settle at $52.83 per barrel, their best settle since 2015.
"Oil will be a cushion for the market, but ... yields are spiking up and you have others that are going to keep investors cautious," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at First Standard Financial. "I think the market has baked in a [Fed rate hike] but not a more hawkish Fed."
After nearly a year of wrangling, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries agreed on Nov. 30 to cut output by 1.2 million barrels per day for six months from Jan. 1, with top exporter Saudi Arabia cutting around 486,000 barrels per day to curb the oversupply that has dogged markets for two years.
On Saturday, producers from outside OPEC, led by Russia, agreed to reduce output by 558,000 barrels per day, short of the target of 600,000 barrels per day but still the largest contribution by non-OPEC ever.
"Although Oil prices have staged an impressive rebound, concerns still linger towards the compliance side of the cut deal with anxieties rising over OPEC and Non-OPEC members cheating," Lukman Otunuga, research analyst at FXTM, said in a note. 2

Thanks Jim & Good Morning all.

Probably 1st and the last message for the day. Boarding flight soon to overseas and will be away for 6 weeks. Been 4 years when I last had proper holidays and since then been busy with work and with little growing family. Now time to visit & check up on those loved one form Mom's and Dad's side plus good old friends (We are moving fast in techno centric world and mostly lost in virtual world. However, Nothing can replace those old childhood memories & amazing time we did spent with such lovely people).

My lovely wife (The Most amazing woman) decided to give me full space this time and so she is at parents house with 3 little children. Ofcourse, not going to be easy for her & so I would like to thank her from bottom of my heart (Thumbs Up for her, please !!!!). However, on Otherside I am sure I will be missing them a lot (my little world ).

Well back to HC family : Thanks to Jim, HLL, Trees, Shanta, Oscar, RavG, Ben and all respected crews who are putting great efforts to make DT thread successful. Please keep it up great efforts & give hands to new comers. Though for now have intention to try to get online during trading hours but you never know. So I will certainly miss you all.

Have a safe trading for the day and coming weeks.

Take care and always take precaution to preserve the gain and your own capital.

Go NUH, GMC
cheers
