NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / October 10, 2017 / U.S. stocks were relatively muted Monday after hitting multiple record highs last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.06 percent to close at 22,716.07, while the S&P 500 Index fell 0.18 percent to close at 2,544.73. The NASDAQ Composite Index declined 0.16 percent to close at 6,579.73. Investor focus will now shift to corporate earnings as major companies including Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo are expected to report earnings results this week. Earnings for the S&P 500 are expected to increase by 4 percent year-over-year in the third quarter, according to data from S&P Capital IQ.

"Growth is likely to come in better than this early estimate. Just like the prior two quarters, this expected beat may be in the process of being priced into the market. If that is the case, we could see a small pullback or pause in the trajectory of the index as earnings season gets underway," said Lindsey Bell, investment strategist at CFRA, according to CNBC.
