The Dow was higher, with shares of plane-maker Boeing Co gaining 1.9% on wall street after the company reached a deal with U.S. budget carrier Southwest Airlines Co for a variant of the 737 MAX aircraft.

Nomura and Credit Suisse are facing billions of dollars in losses after a U.S. hedge fund, named by sources as Archegos Capital, defaulted on margin calls, putting investors on edge about who else might have been caught out.

Shares of Morgan Stanley were down 2.5% on wall street after the Financial Times reported it had also sold billions of shares, while the banks index shed about 1.9%.

”There’s still chatter as to whether or not, and which, American banks may be affected. That is a question that’s lurking. But so far the market has taken (the news) in stride essentially,” said Quincy Krosby, chief market strategist at Prudential Financial in Newark, New Jersey.

Optimism about speedy vaccinations and record stimulus, which drove the Dow and the S&P 500 to record closing highs on Friday, helped keep a floor in the market, she said.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 103 points, or 0.31%, to 33,175.88, the S&P 500 lost 4.21 points, or 0.11%, to 3,970.33 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 102.52 points, or 0.78%, to 13,036.21.

Wall Street’s S&P 500 posted 69 new 52-week highs and no new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 81 new highs and 50 new lows.
