New York - The Dow's six-day streak of records ended on Thursday as US stocks tumbled pulled down in part by disappointing earnings from Dow member Intel.
At the closing bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.4% at 18 517.23.
The broad-based S&P 500 lost 0.4% at 2 165.17, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index shed 0.3% to 5 073.90.
"After the run we've had, certainly it wouldn't surprise me if the stock market took a breather here," said Bill Lynch, director of investment at Hinsdale Associates.
US equity markets have soared the last three weeks, shrugging off worries about the British vote to leave the European Union and well-fuelled by central banks' commitments to keep interest rates low.
