U.S. stocks finished lower on Monday as commodity prices and M&A activity were eyed. This followed a rebound last week that delivered the largest weekly gain for the S&P 500 in nearly a year. Sharp November swings in stocks have put the S&P 500 on track for a gain of 0.6% this month. Existing U.S. home sales were down 3.4% in October from the previous month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.36 million. Economists had expected sales to come in at 5.4 million. Sales have slowed down as housing prices rise–the median sale price was up 5.8% year over year.
