Nasdaq Composite lost 3.5%, and S & P 500 1.8%. Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.5% thanks to Apple’s winners, Johnson & Johnson and Travelers.
Last week, Deepseek published R1, a model of open source reasoning that allegedly surpassed the Openi in several tests, and climbed the scale in the applications.

On the other hand, rotation in the defensive areas of the market helped mitigate losses on Monday.

“The market seems to be at least returning.”
