US stocks were mixed on Monday with investors starting the week with reports about the severity of symptoms produced in patients with the new coronaviruses variant Omicron.
The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average held on to their gains. The reports from South Africa and Japan showed that Omicron patients are not experiencing a lot of symptoms. The variant was first identified in South Africa.
"Omicron continues to be a concern, and while there's still a lot more we don't know than we do know about the latest strain, reports continue to suggest that despite the higher transmissibility, its impact has not been nearly as harsh," said Bespoke Investment Group.
Concerns about rising cases of Omicron contributed to a selloff of cryptocurrencies over the weekend, but they were showing signs of stabilization.
