Wall Street drifts and holds steadier after last week's big swings
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks drifted to a mixed close as Wall Street's wild recent moves calm a bit.
The S&P 500 rose 0.2% Monday in its first trading after careening from months of sharp losses to its best week of the year. The Dow added 34 points, and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.3%.

Crude prices rose after big oil-producing countries said they'd keep production cuts in place.
