Stocks around the world take a pause ahead of frenetic week
NEW YORK (AP) — Stock markets around the world took a pause on Monday from their record-setting run ahead of a busy week for markets. Investors are waiting to see whom President Donald Trump's will pick to head the Federal Reserve, what several of the world's biggest central banks will decide on interest rates and whether Apple and other big U.S. companies can keep piling their profits higher.
KEEPING SCORE: The Standard & Poor's 500 dipped by 4 points, or 0.2 percent, to 2,577, as of 10 a.m. Eastern time. Losses for health care stocks helped offset gains for energy and technology companies. The index closed at a record on Friday after climbing for seven straight weeks, its longest such streak since 2014.
