July 17, 2017: The S&P 500 closed flat at 2,459.13. The DJIA closed flat at 21,631.44. Separately, the Nasdaq also closed flat at 6,314.43.

Monday was a relatively flat day for the U.S. broad markets. Although crude oil was down on the day, oil & gas stocks still saw an uptick. Industrials also showed some life. Apart from this, the index was largely mixed with no real breakout moves on Monday. Earnings season is just about to kick into gear so this could very well be the calm before the storm.

Crude oil backed off to start the week, down 1.2% at $46.00.

Gold was up 0.6% at $1,234.50.

The S&P 500 stock posting the largest daily percentage loss ahead of the close Monday was Crown Castle International Corp. (NYSE: CCI) which traded down about 4% at $97.07. The stock’s 52-week range is $79.38 to $104.68. Volume was just over 3 million versus the daily average of 2.1 million shares.

The stock posting the largest daily percentage gain in the S&P 500 ahead of the close Monday was Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX) which rose 3% to $12.99. The stock’s 52-week range is $9.24 to $17.06. Volume was over 23 million compared to its average volume of 19.3 million.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
