Inflation rates and personal spending rose, while U.S. construction spending fell. Torrid Holdings and Doma Holdings saw significant movements with Doma entering a merger to go private. Most S&P 500 sectors closed lower except for communication services and energy. Investors await earnings from Cal-Maine Foods, Dave & Buster's, and Paychex.
