While <strong>Dow Futures (YM=F)<\/strong> was down <strong>224.00 (-0.44%)<\/strong> points today at <strong>51,176.00<\/strong>, investors are grappling with a <strong>mixed economic outlook<\/strong> where high interest rates are cooling the retail sector. The primary driver appears to be <strong>cautious forward-looking guidance<\/strong> from major tech firms, which has offset the optimism surrounding a strong performance in the industrial and healthcare sectors.<\/p>\n<p>3M (<a href=\"\/stock\/MMM\">MMM<\/a>) emerged as the top performer, as it was up <strong>3.70%<\/strong> to <strong>$148.62<\/strong> following reports of a favorable legal settlement.

The retail sector also took a hit, as Home Depot (<a href=\"\/stock\/HD\">HD<\/a>) was down <strong>2.14%<\/strong> at <strong>$303.85<\/strong>, weighed down by <strong>sluggish housing starts data<\/strong>.
