US stocks come off record highs ahead of inflation data and corporate earnings

Wall Street has ended lower as investors await the upcoming corporate earnings season and a key inflation report later this week.

The indexes had closed at record highs on Friday, after rallying for days on a pullback in the benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond yield from 14-month highs.

US consumer price data for March will be released tomorrow and this could drive Treasury yields higher.

Big Wall Street names are due to kick off earnings season as well, giving new catalysts to buy or sell stocks in a record-high market.
