Wall Street held near its records. The S&P 500 ended flat Monday, coming off its first loss after setting an all-time high in three consecutive days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged down 0.1 percent, while the Nasdaq composite inched up less than 0.1 percent.
Later this week will come profit reports from Walmart and other big U.S. retailers, which could show how households are navigating a slowing job market and worries about tariffs. The week’s highlight will likely arrive Friday, when the Federal Reserve’s chair will give a speech that Wall Street hopes will hint at cuts to interest rates coming soon.
