💨 Abstract

stocks declined slightly on Monday, retreating from recent record highs ahead of a crucial inflation report due on Tuesday. The S&P 500 dropped 0.3%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.5%, and the Nasdaq lost 0.3%. Investors are concerned that high inflation could delay interest rate cuts demanded by President Donald Trump. For the year, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have shown significant gains.
