Stocks started on a downward note as Wall Street returned from the July 4th holiday break. The main indexes ended with declines yesterday after the central bank released minutes from its latest meeting.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 dipped and the Nasdaq Composite remained relatively flat.
After a pause last month, minutes indicate further interest rate hikes.
