Stocks are mixed at the close of trading as Wall Street looks ahead to key trade talks between the US and China this week, the AP reports.

Norfolk Southern rose 3.2%. The railroad operator is moving forward with a plan to cut costs and boost revenue growth. Tesla rose 2.3% after an analyst upgraded the stock to a "Buy".
