Weaker-than-expected auto sales spurred concerns about growth.
Shares of Ford and General Motors dropped more than 4 percent each after they reported July vehicle sales slightly below expectations.
The automakers' declines pulled the S&P consumer discretionary sector down 1.5 percent as the worst- performing of the 10 major S&P groups.
Data showed U.S. consumer spending rose more than expected in June as households bought a range of goods and services.
However, personal income rose only 0.2 percent, missing estimates of 0.3 percent, while inflation remained below the Federal Reserve's 2 percent target. That could keep the central bank on a cautious path to hiking interest rates.
"People are starting to see that things aren’t quite as rosy as they might have thought in the month of July with that big run up," said Peter Jankovskis, co-chief investment officer at OakBrook Investments LLC in Lisle, Illinois. The S&P 500 climbed 3.6 percent in July, its best month since March. 1
