Macy’s and Lowe’s dropped more than 2% each after offering weak guidance. On the other hand, Zoom Video gained 12% and Hims & Hers Health surged 21%, following earnings reports that exceeded Wall Street expectations.

Looking ahead, investors will watch Tuesday for economic data on durable goods, housing and consumer confidence.
