Fin Times p20 "Lowe's retreats as earnings miss forecasts & guidance is lowered" by Kandy Wong says consumer discretionary, which includes Lowe's, was the 2nd worst performer behind telecoms, while rival Home Depot was down 0.3%. Microsoft dorpped 0.5%.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,713.98 down 0.46 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,714.44. This is the sum of all 30 closing prices. A short cut to the Dow numerator is to multiply the closing Dow by the Divisor.

If Monday morning before the market opened you had purchased 100 shares of each of the Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 shares (assuming you could buy fractional shares and assuming no transaction costs) and sold at the close you would havelost $52 ($171,450 - $171,398).
MarketWatch.com Mon. 4: 48 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks pared their losses Monday to close virtually unchanged as investors waited for events later in the week, including the minutes from the Federal Reserve’s last meeting, slated for release in two days. “This is central bank week, we’re all looking at Europe and the Fed,” said Paul Nolte, managing director at Dearborn Partners.
Economic reports since the Aug. 1 Federal Open Market Committee gathering have dented chances of a third round of quantitative easing by the Fed, although the release coming Wednesday is unlikely to illustrate that change.
“Even though the minutes are going to reflect they are leaving the door open, the odds have fallen since then because we’ve seen improvement in some of the data,” said Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Asset Management Group in Pittsburgh.
“We’re not falling apart; we’re not doing fabulously well either. You’d like to be more definitive, but there isn’t anything definitive,” said Nolte of recent U.S. economic reports.
Housing data later in the week could offer more direction, Nolte added.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 3.56 points, or 0.03%, to close at 13,271.64.
The S&P 500 Index SPX-0.0021% ended at 1,418.13, about flat compared with a close of 1,418.16 on Friday. Telecommunications were the hardest hit Monday and technology was the best performing of its 10 major industry sectors.
Coventry Health Care Inc.CVH+20.32% rallied 20% after Aetna Inc. AET+5.63% said it would purchase the medical-care supplier for about $5.6 billion. Shares of Aetna gained 5.%.
Apple Inc. AAPL+2.63% shares closed at a record of $665.15, up 2.6%.
At Friday’s close, Apple represented 4.73% of the S&P 500 index, with a market capitalization of $607.54 billion, according to Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC. The Nasdaq Composite COMP-0.01% fell 0.38 point to 3,076.21.
Decliners slightly outweighed advancers on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 551 million shares traded. Composite volume pulled within reach of 2.8 billion.
“The NYSE volume has fallen off a cliff, not just compared to other Augusts but compared to everything, but composite volume hasn’t changed all that much. It’s down from prior years, but less than 10%, while the NYSE volume is down 30% to 40%,” said Nolte.
The U.S. dollar 3DXY-0.09% declined against other global currencies, including the euro EURUSD-0.0688%. Treasury prices rose, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note 10_YEAR-0.17% falling to 1.814%.
Best Buy Co. BBY-10.41% tapped French restructuring expert Hubert Joly as its chief executive. Its shares fell 10% Monday after buyout talks with founder Richard Schulze floundered.
Meanwhile, “optimism was dealt a setback,” Stone said of the European Central Bank move to quell speculation about its planned bond-buying program, saying no decisions had been made.
Both the Dow and the S&P 500 on Friday sealed a sixth week of gains, their longest streaks since early 2011 and bringing the S&P within reach of a four-year high.
