US stock indexes finished a bumpy day mostly lower as losses for phone companies and banks outweighed gains in health care stocks, the AP reports. Major indexes clawed back some of the ground they lost in early Monday as investors worried that the defeat of the Republican-backed health care bill might make it tougher to pass business-friendly policies like tax reform. The Standard & Poor's 500 index lost 2 points, or 0.1%, to 2,341. It was down almost 1% earlier. The Dow Jones industrial average gave back 45 points, or 0.2%, to 20,550. The Nasdaq rose 11 points, or 0.2%, to 5,840. About as many stocks rose as fell on the New York Stock Exchange. (More Dow Jones stories.)
