The Dow closed higher Monday, as tesla and big tech combined to ensure stocks started the week on the front foot ahead of Apple's eagerly anticipated iPhone 15 launch due Tuesday and inflation data later this week.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell on Thursday, with the biggest drag from Apple and a sell-off in chip stocks over concerns about China's iPhone curbs, while a fall in weekly U.S. jobless claims fed worries about interest rates and sticky inflation.

U.S. stocks were mixed, with declines led by tech stocks, as investors continued to worry about interest rates remaining higher for longer.
