The S&P 500 ended lower on Monday as investors weighed whether the U.S. Federal Reserve might pause its interest rate hikes at its upcoming policy meeting, while Apple briefly hit a record high before losing ground.
Global markets begin the trading week on a mildly positive front as US policymakers managed to avoid the debt payment default, despite the initial ruckus. Adding strength to the cautious optimism is the firmer China Caixin Services PMI and hopes of slower rate hikes from the key central banks ex-Fed.
