A broadly positive start to the quarterly earningsseason andupbeat economic data had propelled indexeshigher over the past two weeks. The three major indexes logged a sixth consecutive week of gains on Friday, in their best winning streak so far this year.
"What we're seeing today is a market that is basically taking a bit of a breather and probably consolidating some of those strong gains that we had last week," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist, Spartan Capital Securities.
"The market last week closed at record highs and despite the run up in yields... remains resilient because of the fact that the earnings are coming in better than expected."
Optimism around earnings persisted ahead of the 114 S&P 500 companies that are scheduled to report results this week, including Tesla TSLA.O, Coca-Cola KO.N and Texas Instruments TXN.O. Of the companies that reported as of Friday, 83.1% beatearnings estimates, accordingto data compiled by LSEG.
