Dow Jones Industrial Average keeps the vacillating trade ahead of US CPI

• Wall Street opens the week with marginal gains with investors relieved by decline in Oil prices.
• Dow Jones treads water near 39,000 level as rebound from Friday’s high stalls. 
• Bias remains skewed to the downside with all eyes on Wednesday’s US CPI figures.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) has opened the week with minor advances, favoured by some risk appetite. Oil prices have retreated from multi-month highs as tensions in the Middle East ease somewhat, which has provided some relief to equity investors on Monday.
