Oct 21 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes were subdued on Monday as investors took a breather after the previous week's rally, awaiting results from major companies that could influence whether markets would sustain their record highs or decline.

Treasury yields rose, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year bond rising as high as 4.14%, pressuring rate-sensitive stocks.
The Real Estate .SPLRCR sector lost 0.8% amid broader market declines. Consumer Discretionary .SPLRCD was off 0.7%, weighed by Tesla TSLA.O and Amazon.com AMZN.O, which were down 1.5% and 1.2%, respectively.
Of the so-called Magnificent Seven group of stocks, most slipped. However, Nvidia NVDA.O and Alphabet GOOGL.O gained 1.6% and 0.2%, respectively.
Most chip stocks also edged lower, sending the broader Semiconductor index .SOX down 0.2%.
Boeing's BA.N5% jump kept losses on the Dow in check afternews that workers could vote on a new deal to end a costly five-week-long strike.
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.
However, risks such as rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, gains in Treasury yields and some volatility ahead of the upcoming U.S. presidential election are pressuring equities.
