Stock market today: Wall Street rises following last week's slide

NEW YORK — Most U.S. stocks ticked higher to recover some of their sharp slide from last week. The S&P 500 rose 0.4% Monday for its first gain in three days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite gained 0.6%. CVS Health rallied after adding four new directors to its board, including the CEO of a hedge fund that’s a major investor. Treasury yields eased in the bond market, which also helped calm the stock market.

Liberty Energy also helped pull the market upward after rising 5.9%. President-elect Donald Trump named its CEO, Chris Wright, as his Secretary of Energy.

Moderna rose 5.6% on Monday, but it is still down since Trump said he wanted Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent anti-vaccine activist, to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

After taking away purchases of automobiles, sales at retailers were weaker last month than economists expected
