US STOCKS MIXED, BUT TECH BULKING BACK UP

Wall Street's main indexes are mixed early on Monday, after a week in which AI disruption worries caused technology stocks to tumble, as investors await crucial economic data for insight into the U.S. Federal Reserve's interest-rate path.

The January nonfarm payrolls report is due on Wednesday - delayed by a partial government shutdown - and the closely watched January consumer price index (CPI) is due on Friday, both essential for clues on the central bank's rate-cut decisions.

A majority of S&P 500 sectors .SPX are lower with Consumer Discretionary .SPLRCD last down nearly 1%.

However, Tech .SPLRCT, up more than 1%, is the leading gainer. This is coming with Chip stocks .SOX up nearly 1%, and Software and Services .SPLRCIS rallying more than 2%. On Friday, Tech posted its biggest daily gain since May 12 of last year.

Transports .DJT are down about 1%.

With this, Growth .IGX is outperforming Value .IVX.
