Wall Street slips as protests spread in China

Stocks fell on Wall Street as protests spread in China calling for President Xi Jinping to step down amid growing anger over severe restrictions imposed as part of his “zero COVID” strategy in the world's second-largest economy. The S&P 500 fell 0.8 percent in afternoon trading on Monday and the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 0.9 percent. Markets will get another key piece of data on the economy later this week when the Labor Department issues its monthly jobs report.
