Episode Synopsis

Stocks drifted lower and the dollar hovered near two-month lows as investors stayed cautious ahead of key US economic data that may signal where interest rates are headed. The yen strengthened.

Shares in Broadcom fell more than 5.5%, after Friday's 11% decline. It's all in response to a disappointing outlook issued last week, especially on gross margins. Broadcom has fallen by nearly 18% over the last three trading sessions.
