The S&P 500 Index fluctuated near 3,000 as Citigroup Inc slid after posting worse-than-estimated trading revenue. Steelmakers jumped after Donald Trump's trade aide Peter Navarro said the president will sign an executive order boosting the use of the material in federal government contracts. After the first giant U.S. bank kicked off the earnings season, other heavyweights including JPMorgan Chase & Co., Wells Fargo & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc get ready to report their results on Tuesday. Also this week, investors will be sifting through speeches by Federal Reserve officials after Chairman Jerome Powell signaled he stands ready to cut interest rates to bolster growth and lackluster inflation.
