Stock Indexes Pull Back Slightly After Banner Month in August

Major U.S. stock indexes dipped today, closing a solid August with modest gains. The S&P 500 dropped 0.6%, the Dow fell 0.2%, and the Nasdaq slipped 1.2%. Still, each posted healthy month-long gains, with the S&P up nearly 2% for August. Wall Street still ended strong: the Dow rose 7%, the Nasdaq climbed 11%, and the Russell 2000 added 6%. Treasury yields and inflation metrics held steady amid the dip. Investors are now shifting focus to September—home to labor data, Fed policy decisions, and post-Labor Day volatility.
