The US markets ended lower on Monday after spending the session jumping back and forth across the unchanged lines. The wall street experienced a choppy trade as traders seemed reluctant to make significant moves ahead of the release of several closely watched economic reports in the coming days. Markets participants will be closely watching the Labor Department's report on consumer price inflation in the month of July, to be released on Tuesday, as the data could impact the outlook for interest rates. The street is expecting consumer prices to rise by 0.2 percent in July after climbing by 0.3 percent in June, while the annual rate of growth is expected to inch up to 2.8 percent from 2.7 percent. Further, Reports on producer price inflation, retail sales and industrial production are likely to attract attention in the coming days.
