What to drove the market?
Stocks mostly retreated Tuesday, after investors pushed the market to fresh peaks in recent weeks on a strengthening economy, though supply-chain bottlenecks are seen slowing the recovery.
The Institute for Supply Management on Tuesday said its service sector purchasing managers index fell to 60.1% in June from a record 64% in May. A reading of more than 50% indicates an expansion in activity. The IHS Markit final June services PMI fell to 64.6, down from 70.4 in May.
The results are still "solid," butthe ISM services index's larger-than-expected decline has raised investor concerns over the robustness of the economic recovery, according to Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors's U.S. SPDR business. "It begs the question, are we past the peak from the pandemic in terms of the economy rebounding?" he said in an interview Tuesday.
