Stocks ended mixed Monday, as a spate of acquisitions lifted the technology sector and energy prices extended their declines. Gains were limited by airline woes and worries about interest rates.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 4.38, or 0.04 percent, to 10,682.94. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index dropped 0.9, or 0.1 percent, to 1,240.56. The Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 7.32, or 0.3 percent, to 2,182.83.
