NEW YORK, New York - Weak economic news out of China undermined stocks on Wall Street on Monday. The major indices had a wild ride with rallies being confronted by hoards of sellers. Major early gains evaporated as the day wore on.
"China data was kind of the morning overhang on the market, but it's trying to find its footing led by energy. You're seeing people rotate into the winners of the year so far, which are energy and utilities," Jay Hatfield, chief executive officer at Infrastructure Capital Management in New York told Reuters Monday.
"We think that a lot of sectors in the market are undervalued."
The Dow Jones was the only major to finish in front, albeit with a miserly 26.76 points or 0.08 percent gain to 22,223.42.

On foreign exchange markets, the U.S. dollar weakened marginally, except against the Japanese yen.
The euro edged up to 1.0430 around the New York close Monday. The British pound gained to 1.2314. The Swis sfranc was unchanged at 1.00276.
The Canadian dollar firmed to 1.2850. The Australian dollar was nearly a cent higher at 0.6971. The New Zealand dollar rose to 0.6309.
