Stocks ended lower on Wall Street, giving up their gains for the week.
The S&P 500 still managed to end July higher, marking six monthly gains in a row, the longest such streak since 2018.
Online retail giant Amazon slumped and weighed down the S&P 500 after it reported sales growth that was big but not as big as Wall Street expected. Its sales forecast also disappointed investors.
