The Dow Jones Industrial Average early Monday was on track for its third straight declining session, with a downdraft in shares of Nike , Apple , and Goldman Sachs doing the most to drag the index lower. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) shares were weighing the Dow down by nearly 20 points, with Nike Inc. (NKE) and Apple Inc. (AAPL)'s shares together taking a roughly 23 point toll. All totaled, the trio of components were pressuring the Dow by more than 40 points, with a $1 move in the price-weighted Dow equating to a 6.84-point swing. Overall, the stock market was on extending what has been a multisession skid. The Dow was off 44 points, or 0.2%, at 21,628, the S&P 500 index was trading 0.2% lower at 2,420, while the Nasdaq Composite Index was down 0.5% at 6,189. All three main benchmarks are set to show a decline in August, with the Dow and the S&P 500 both off 0.2% on the month, while the Nasdaq is on pace to shed 0.5% so far this month, according to FactSet data.
