Wall St edges down, S&P 500 near record

REUTERS - U.S. stocks are edging slightly lower at the open on Tuesday, with traders finding few reasons to keep pushing shares higher following a two-day rally on the S&P 500.

The benchmark S&P 500 is about 0.7 percent away from a record close hit last week. Retailers are among the weakest stocks, with the Morgan Stanley Retail index down 1.6 percent, led by Dick's Sporting Goods , off 14 percent.
