Oct 21 (Reuters) - The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 closed lower on Monday, retreating from Friday's record high closes and six straight weekly gains as Treasury yields rose and investors wary of high valuationsawaited earnings from major companies.
"It's not at all unusual for the market to want to take a little bit of a breather after six weeks of continually record highs," said Carol Schleif, chief investment officer at BMO Family Office.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI fell 344.31 points, or 0.80%, to 42,931.60, the S&P 500 .SPX lost 10.69 points, or 0.18%, to 5,853.98.

"The rise in the 10-year yield is causing confusion that maybe the economy is growing too rapidly and that employment remains too resilient," said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research. "As a result, the Fed might end up being slower to lower interest rates."
On Friday, the Dow and the S&P 500 both closed at record highs as all three major indexes posted a sixth consecutive week of gains, their longest winning streak this year.
Many rate-sensitive megacap technology stocks slipped. Tesla TSLA.O was down 0.84%.
After a fairly upbeat start to earnings season, the focus was on the 114 S&P 500 companies scheduled to report this week. These include Tesla, Coca-Cola KO.N and Texas Instruments TXN.O.
Ahead of a busy week for earnings, some investors likely took some profits, according to analysts. David Laut, chief investment officer at Abound Financial, said the market was looking at how stretched valuations are.
Of companies that have reported so far, 83.1% beat earnings estimates, according to data compiled by LSEG on Friday.
