Dow and S&P fall on inflation concerns


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - In the lightest volume session of the year, U.S. stocks fell on Monday after a lowered outlook from Kimberly-Clark heightened concerns about higher commodity costs squeezing profits in coming quarters.

    The Dow Jones industrial average was down 26.11 points, or 0.21 percent, to end unofficially at 12,479.88. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 2.13 points, or 0.16 percent, to finish unofficially at 1,335.25. But the Nasdaq Composite Index was up 5.72 points, or 0.20 percent, to close unofficially at 2,825.88.
