At around 3 p.m. ET, the Nasdaq composite fell more than 1%. The S&P 500 traded around 0.5% lower while the Dow Jones posted a loss of over 0.3%. The small-cap Russell 2000 index lost 1.5% and was a market underperformer. Volume was running lower on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq, compared with the same time on Friday.
The major indexes all ended higher last week, for another straight weekly gain, after a slew of positive economic data boosted the market. The Nasdaq has recovered sharply in recent weeks and is now trading back near its record high from February.
Additionally, several big banks including Goldman Sachs (GS) and JPMorgan (JPM) reported earnings last week, showing rising revenue and profits, further lifting investor optimism.
However, shares pulled back on Monday, taking a break from the recent rally.
