U.S. stock indexes opened slightly lower on Monday, pulling back from records ahead of a raft of corporate earnings this week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 38 points, or 0.1%, to 26,572. The S&P 500 fell 7 points, or 0.23%, to 2,866. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 20 points, or 0.3%, to 7,485. All three major indexes closed at records on Friday, with each gauge posting their fourth straight weekly gain. The next few days will prove particularly busy as investors will look ahead to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address and the Federal Reserve’s two-day meeting. Also, a quarter of the S&P 500 companies are set to report their earnings this week.
