The S&P retail sector index slipped 0.2 percent after a number of retailers, including Bed Bath & Beyond and Family Dollar , slashed their earnings forecasts. The S&P telecom services sector index fell 1.9 percent, pulled lower by AT&T and Verizon Communications, which were the top decliners in the Dow Jones industrial average.
