The feverish rally on Wall Street is taking a break.
The S&P 500 fell 0.3 percent Thursday from its latest all-time high for just its second loss in the last 10 days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 243 points, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.1 percent.
A sharp fall for Dell Technologies helped offset strength for Delta Air Lines, which delivered a stronger profit for the summer than analysts expected. But Dell and stocks broadly are still up comfortably for the week. The price of gold fell back below $4,000 per ounce following its stellar run this year.
