    The Israeli military is continuing its attacks against Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group, with hundreds of Beirut residents fleeing their homes late on Sunday as explosions rocked the Lebanese capital.

    The benchmark S&P 500 and Dow finished lower, with defensive stocks including real estate and healthcare among the leading drags. The Nasdaq closed slightly stronger, with Nvidia finishing at a record high, ahead of a busy week for corporate earnings.

    The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.80 per cent, to 42,931.60, the S&P 500 fell 0.18 per cent to 5,853.98 and the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.27 per cent to 18,540.01.
