Wall Street was hit by hot consumer and producer inflation data the past week and both the S&P and Nasdaq lost ground.

Major movers: Amazon -2.21%, AMD 2.16%, Nucor 3.32% and Ulta Beauty -5.39%. Adobe reported a top and bottom line beat, but guidance came in a little light, which triggered a near-14% slide.
