Wall Street traders sent stocks down from all-time highs as data showed mixed indications on how American consumers are feeling about the economy. Investors also kept a close eye on a face-to-face meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
Following a surge from its April lows, the S&P 500 fell. Applied Materials Inc. led losses in chipmakers on a disappointing outlook. UnitedHealth Group Inc. soared as prominent funds piled into the insurer. Solar shares rallied. Longer-dated Treasuries underperformed. The dollar and oil retreated.
Trump greeted his Russian counterpart with a handshake in Alaska as they kicked off a highly anticipated summit, with the US leader looking to secure an end to the war in Ukraine. A joint press conference was planned for after their meeting.
Before that, economic data showed a broad-based advance in US retail sales, boosted by car sales and major online promotions. Later, a separate report showed consumer sentiment unexpectedly fell for the first time since April and inflation expectations rose.
