Nvidia and tech companies prop up Wall Street as most stocks fall

NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. stock market is ticking higher in mixed trading on Monday, led once again by technology companies.

The S&P 500 added 0.4% in early trading and was nearing its all-time high set last week, even though the majority of stocks within the index were falling. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 34 points, or 0.1%, as of 9:35 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.9% higher.
