Dow and S&P 500 slip from records to start the week

(CNBC) -- The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell on Monday on concerns about global growth, after the 30-stock average notched a record close Friday.

The Dow fell 106.66 points to 35,101.85, or 0.3%. The S&P 500 traded down 0.1% at 4,432.35. Meanwhile, the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose 0.16% to 14,860.18.

Oil prices dropped on Monday, building on last week’s losses, as rising Covid cases caused concern of a slowdown in demand. West Texas Intermediate crude futures declined more than 4% at one point to trade as low as $65.15, a level not seen since May. The contract recovered some of those losses during afternoon trading and ultimately settled 2.64% lower at $66.48 per barrel. International benchmark Brent crude settled at $69.04 per barrel for a loss of 2.35%, after hitting a low of $67.60.
