NEW YORK: Investors will seek clues about the health of the US economy in the coming week following worrisome labor market reports and technology-led turbulence that has knocked the stock market off record highs.

The S&P 500 ended on Friday with a weekly decline after three straight weeks of gains. The benchmark index was last down about 2.4% from its all-time closing peak on October 28 even after a generally strong third-quarter earnings season for large US companies.
