Mixed day on Wall St.

U.S. stocks were split yesterday as technology companies continued to climb, but Boeing and other industrial companies gave back some ground they won on Friday.

Companies like Apple and Alphabet, Google's parent company, and chipmakers including Micron Technology have led the market's recovery in recent weeks. Retailers including Amazon and Starbucks also made headway. The market was coming off its biggest gain in a month following the February jobs report, which showed strong hiring and moderate growth in wages.

Inflation has been the market's dominant concern and two more measuring sticks of inflation will be reported this week as the Labor Department discloses data on consumer prices today and producer prices tomorrow.

The S&P 500 index fell 3.55 points, or 0.1 percent, to 2,783.02. The Dow Jones industrial average declined 157.13 points, or 0.6 percent, to 25,178.61. The Nasdaq composite finished at another record high after it added 27.51 points, or 0.4 percent, to 7,588.32.
