The blue chips Dow Jones industrial average went down 0.44 points to close at 10,623.18. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 Index declined 3.68 (0.32%) to 1,143.94. The technology laced Nasdaq composite index fell 23.44 (1.09%) to 2,119.01.

Bonds grew up, the 10-year note yield falling to 3.97% from 4.03%.

"Investors are moving from tech and some Nasdaq issues that look like they may have gotten ahead of themselves in the short run, and into larger-cap financial and cyclical names," said Robert Mikkelsen, senior managing director of equity capital markets at The Advest Group. "But it seems like an orderly rotation rather than a big overall correction, which is healthier and shows the strength of this market."
