Monday was a positive day on Wall Street, as major benchmarks jumped following an uneventful weekend, tapering their gains as the session came to a close. Some had feared that China might retaliate once again after the U.S. issued a second round of tariffs against the nation with the world's second-largest economy, but the expected fireworks didn't come, putting market participants more at ease. The beginning of earnings season in the next week will also distract investors from geopolitical issues, perhaps allowing indexes to climb further. Yet some individual stocks had difficulties that sent their shares lower. Yandex (NASDAQ:YNDX), Menlo Therapeutics (NASDAQ:MNLO), and MGIC Investment (NYSE:MTG) were among the worst performers on the day. Here's why they did so poorly.
Yandex takes a hit on Russian sanctionsShares of Yandex sank 12% as the entire Russian stock market suffered from the imposition of new U.S. sanctions on its Cold War rival. The sanctions targeted about two dozen Russian government officials and oligarchs, with Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin accusing Russia of supporting the Assad regime in Syria, continuing to remain in Crimea, and generally attacking the concept of Western democracy. Yandex wasn't directly targeted under the sanctions, but the internet website stands to lose generally if sanctions create a sustained slump in economic activity more generally. The news is especially ill-timed given Yandex's recent moves higher toward levels not seen since the early 2010s, but political risk is an ever-present danger for investors in Russia.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Stephan Byrd]
Alibaba Group (NASDAQ: NTES) and NetEase (NASDAQ:NTES) are both large-cap retail/wholesale companies, but which is the superior investment?
