FYI: S. stocks eased Monday, as investors took a breather following last week's gains.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 41 points, or 0.2%, to 17096 recently. The S&P 500 index eased 10 points, or 0.5%, to 1998. The Nasdaq Composite Index declined eight points, or 0.2%, to 4575.
Energy companies posted the biggest losses, as oil prices fell to an eight-month low.
The pullback follows strides by major indexes last week. On Friday, the S&P cruised to its 33rd record close of the year, as investors viewed the disappointing August jobs report as leeway for the Federal Reserve to keep its easy-money policies in place longer.
