U.S. equities finished mixed in their first day back from the long holiday weekend amid a mixed bag of global news. Manufacturing activity in the New York region decelerated more than expected, and U.S. homebuilder sentiment surprisingly dropped. Moreover, German investor and analyst sentiment diverged, while the Bank of Japan extended its special lending programs. News from the equity front also varied, as revenues from Dow member Coca-Cola disappointed the Street, Ireland's Actavis agreed to acquire Forest Laboratories for about $25.0 billion, and Waste Management posted softer-than-expected results. Treasuries finished higher following the data, while crude oil prices rose, and gold and the U.S. dollar were lower.
