The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 56.68 points, or 0.16%, to 35,333.47. The S&P 500 shed 0.20% to 4,550.43. The Nasdaq Composite edged lower 0.07% to 14,241.02.

Wall Street is coming off its fourth straight positive week, as stocks have rallied since the 10-year Treasury yield retreated from the 5% mark it briefly topped in late October. The S&P 500 is up 8.5% so far this month, while the Dow has added 6.9% and the Nasdaq has jumped 10.8%.
