Stocks fell Monday as traders braced for key U.S. inflation reports due out later in the week and largely ignored a positive development in the tariff saga.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 200.52 points, or 0.45%, and settled at 43,975.09. The S&P 500 lost 0.25% to close at 6,373.45, and the Nasdaq Composite was off 0.3% and ended at 21,385.40.
Inflation readings this week will prove a key hurdle for a broad market index near record highs. The consumer price index, which is set to be released Tuesday, and the producer price index, due out Thursday, will be critical in shaping the outlook for the direction of interest rates, especially for the Federal Reserve’s September meeting. Hotter inflation prints could hinder the market’s advance.
