				U.S. stock indexes edged back from their record levels as a busy 
				week for Wall Street picks up momentum.
 The S&P 500 fell 0.3% Tuesday after setting all-time highs for 
				six straight days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 204 
				points, and the Nasdaq composite sliced 0.4% off its own record.
 
 SoFi Technologies rallied, but Merck and UPS fell following a 
				jumbled set of profit reports. Treasury yields sank in the bond 
				market as the Federal Reserve began a two-day meeting on 
				interest rates. Reports suggested the U.S. economy remains solid 
				but is slowing.
