Major U.S. stock-indexes little changed. Industrial and banks stocks have been the biggest gainers of a post-election rally as investors expect these sectors to benefit the most from President-elect Donald Trump's policies. U.S. employers boosted hiring in November and the unemployment rate dropped to a more than nine-year low of 4.6 percent, making it almost certain that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates later this month. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 178,000 jobs last month after increasing by 142,000 in October, the Labor Department said on Friday.

Most of Dow stocks in positive area (19 of 30). Top gainer - Merck & Co., Inc. (MRK, +1.04%). Top loser - The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (GS, -1.93%).

Most S&P sectors also in positive area. Top gainer - Healthcare (+1.1%). Top loser - Conglomerates (-0.5%).
