Reserve weighed on the market.

Veteran stockbroker Jonathan Ravelas said a sustained fall below the 7,300 level could accelerate the market’s decline back towards the 6,800 to 7,000 level. A global rally that has seen several markets hit multiple records — particularly in New York — appears to have run out of gas as traders assess the US central bank’s plans in the wake of forecast-topping economic data and ahead of a tight presidential election.

The Dow and S&P 500 both fell for a second straight day on Wall Street, having ended at fresh peaks Friday, though the Nasdaq ticked higher.Tokyo ended down despite a weaker yen caused by a softening of expectations on US rate cuts.
