Last week, the Dow industrials fell 1.1% and the S&P 500 shed 2.3%, ending three straight weeks of gains.

Later in the week, investors will shift focus to the release of July consumer and producer price index data. Economic data due Monday include the consumer-credit report for June at 3 p.m. Eastern.
