Now for a look at global markets. Wall Street pulled back from record highs on Monday. Both the Dow and the S&P 500 indexes marked their biggest one-day percentage declines in about five months.

A slide in Apple shares weighed down on the indexes. The shares fell 2.1 percent on news the company will halve production of its 9-hundred and 99 dollars iPhone X smartphone. Benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury note yields hit their highest since 2014, due to economic strength. That added pressure on defensive sectors, such as utilities, real estate and telecoms. Over in Europe, we see a mixed picture. British stocks closed flat on Monday, with the benchmark FTSE 100 Index up 0.08 percent points or 6 percent. Both DAX and CAC 40 dropped.
