This downward movement reflects a cautious start to the full trading week following the Memorial Day holiday, as investors pivot their focus toward upcoming <strong>inflation reports<\/strong> and <strong>Federal Reserve<\/strong> commentary. The primary narrative driving the market is a &quot;wait-and-see&quot; approach regarding interest rate trajectories, which pressured high-valuation tech and retail sectors despite strong performance in specific industrial and healthcare components.<\/p>\n<p>Leading the pack of gainers, <strong>3M (<a href=\"\/stock\/MMM\">MMM<\/a>)<\/strong> was up <strong>3.70%<\/strong>, buoyed by positive sentiment surrounding its legal settlement progress and corporate restructuring. <strong>Nvidia (<a href=\"\/stock\/NVDA\">NVDA<\/a>)<\/strong> also showed resilience, as it was up <strong>1.77%<\/strong> behind continued momentum in the <strong>AI semiconductor<\/strong> space. Other notable performers included <strong>Johnson &amp; Johnson (<a href=\"\/stock\/JNJ\">JNJ<\/a>)<\/strong>, which was up <strong>1.61%<\/strong>, and <strong>Cisco Systems (<a href=\"\/stock\/CSCO\">CSCO<\/a>)<\/strong>, which was up <strong>1.33%<\/strong>. These gains provided a necessary buffer for the blue-chip index, preventing a deeper slide as defensive sectors and healthcare stocks attracted capital.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, the index was dragged down by significant losses in the enterprise tech and consumer discretionary sectors. <strong>IBM (<a href=\"\/stock\/IBM\">IBM<\/a>)<\/strong> was down <strong>2.42%<\/strong>, emerging as the session&#39;s steepest decliner, followed closely by <strong>Home Depot (<a href=\"\/stock\/HD\">HD<\/a>)<\/strong>, which was down <strong>2.14%<\/strong> amid concerns over cooling housing market data. Other major laggards included <strong>Salesforce (<a href=\"\/stock\/CRM\">CRM<\/a>)<\/strong>, which was down <strong>1.64%<\/strong>, and <strong>Sherwin-Williams (<a href=\"\/stock\/SHW\">SHW<\/a>)<\/strong>, which was down <strong>1.36%<\/strong>. <strong>Microsoft (<a href=\"\/stock\/MSFT\">MSFT<\/a>)<\/strong> also faced headwinds, as it was down
