How the major US stock indexes fared Monday

How the Dow Jones industrial average and other major indexes fared Monday

The stock market ended up more or less where it began Monday in a quiet day for investors who had little economic data or company earnings to react to.

Analysts said the market is likely to remain in a holding pattern until traders hear from Janet Yellen on Tuesday and Wednesday in her first testimony before Congress since becoming head of the Federal Reserve.

On Monday:

The Dow Jones industrial average gained 7.71 points, 0.1 percent, to 15,801.79.

The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 2.82 points, or 0.2 percent, to close at 1,799.84.

The Nasdaq composite was up 22.31 points, or 0.5 percent, to 4,148.17.

For the year so far:

The Dow is down 774.87 points, or 4.7 percent.

The S&P 500 is down 48.52 points, or 2.6 percent.

The Nasdaq is down 28.42 points, or 0.7 percent.
