However, the Dow faced downward pressure, experiencing a decline of -0.31%, influenced by volatility introduced by earnings reports from some of its portfolio companies.

 

 

 

Within the Dow, UnitedHealth Group Inc. (UNH) stood out as the leading percentage loser, declining by over -3%. This drop was attributed to the healthcare giant reporting higher-than-expected medical costs in Q4.

 

On the S&P 500 Index, Delta Air Lines Inc (DAL) experienced a significant downturn of approximately -9%, ranking among the top percentage losers after issuing annual profit guidance below its long-term target.

 

 

 

On the flipside, Bank of New York Mellon (BK) saw a positive surge of more than +4% following encouraging Q4 results. Additionally, energy stocks, such as Valero Energy (VLO), gained traction as WTI crude reached a 2-week high.

 

As earnings season gains momentum this week, the spotlight is on results from banks and energy companies. Goldman Sachs (GS), Morgan Stanley (MS), PNC Financial (PNC), Charles Schwab (SCHW), U.S. Bancorp (USB), Kinder Morgan (KMI), and Schlumberger (SLB) are among the companies expected to release earnings updates this week.
