Stocks give up big gain | S&P 500 briefly positive for 2020 | California closing indoor businesses
EDITOR'S NOTE
For a moment Monday, the S&P 500 turned positive for the year.
The index then pulled back after a big turnaround in technology shares led by Tesla and after California announced it was closing indoor businesses, such as bars and restaurants.
The Nasdaq Composite went from up 2% at its high to close down 2%. Shares of Tesla put on quite a show. The electric automaker's stock soared more than 14% on speculation it would soon be included in the S&P 500. It then fell from there into the red.
Tesla's market value rose to $321 billion, during the run-up, making it the 10th-largest U.S. stock by market value. As usual, Monday's spike came amid a chorus of critics, who worry about profit sustainability and competition.
"The day's of Tesla's virtually unchallenged dominance may be numbered," said Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas.
