The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 65 points, or 0.2%, at the start of the holiday-shortened week, primarily dragged down by UnitedHealth Group, which alone accounted for a 71-point decline. Other contributors included Sherwin-Williams, Home Depot, and McDonald’s, all with high share prices. In contrast, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite saw slight gains, indicating a divergence in market performance as investors await the next catalyst for movement.
