Declines in oil prices also weighed. WTI futures settled down 23 cents, or 0.47 percent, at $49.10 a barrel, but still posting its first four-month win streak since 2011.
Energy, materials and consumer staples closed about half a percent lower as the greatest decliners in the S&P 500, which failed to hold above the psychologically key 2,100 level in the close. The index has closed above that level only twice so far this year in April.
