India, Oct. 12 -- After ending last week's trading on an upbeat note, stocks turned in a lackluster performance during trading on Monday. The major averages moved in opposite directions, eventually ending the day mixed.

While the Dow rose 195.60 points or 0.4 percent to 51,850.55, the S&P 500 edged down 4.30 points or 0.1 percent to 7,807.24 and the Nasdaq fell 120.27 points or 0.4 percent to 27,245.90.

The choppy trading on Wall Street came as traders seemed reluctant to make significant moves ahead of the release of key inflation data in the coming days.
