NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks drifted lower to start what could be a quiet stretch following several weeks of gains. The S&P 500 fell 0.2% Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 199 points, while the Nasdaq composite fell 0.1%. Treasury yields fell after a report said U.S. services industries grew by less than economists expected last month. It’s the latest mixed report on the U.S. economy. This upcoming week is light on earnings reports and top-tier economic data. Much attention is on next week, when the government will release the latest monthly updates on inflation and the Federal Reserve meets next on interest rate policy.
