Stocks are lower as investors await job report

Stocks edged lower Monday as investors took a cautious approach to trading before the government’s latest report on the jobs market.

Investors have been homing in on employment data as a key way of predicting where the economy is going. Signs of a slowdown in growth has plagued the market for more than a month. Investors are unsure if companies will be able to keep up strong earnings growth if the recovery runs out of steam or falls back into recession. And consumers aren’t likely to spend more until there are clear and regular signs of hiring.

Traders largely shrugged of a new report showing that personal spending inched higher last month.

In morning trading, the Dow fell 21.57, or 0.2 percent, to 10,129.08. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 2.08, or 0.2 percent, to 1,062.51, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 3.52, or 0.2 percent, to 2,150.11.
