The Nasdaq is up 8.2 percent since June 15, while the Dow is up 5.4 percent and the S&P 500 is up 5.6 per- cent. Almost half of the Dow’s decline came from 3M Co. The stock fell 5.4 percent, the most of the 30 companies that make up the Dow average. The industrial giant, which makes Scotch tape, med- ical equipment and many other products, said the disaster in Japan and sink- ing demand for LCD tele- visions hurt its results. The company makes a kind of film that is used in producing the flat-screen TVs. Since it makes so many kinds of products, investors often see 3M’s results as an indicator of how the whole U.S. man- ufacturing industry is doing. UPS Inc., the world’s largest package delivery company, fell 3.3 percent after warning that the ‘‘uneven economic envi- ronment’’ in the U.S. could affect its results. Its main competitor, FedEx Corp., fell about 1 per- cent. United States Steel Corp. also said it was see- ing uneven economic con- ditions. The stock fell 8.3 percent after the company predicted that its earnings could fall in the third quarter. AK Steel Holding Corp. fell 17.5 percent, the most of any company in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, after the com- pany said it expects ship- ments to decline in the third quarter because of higher costs for raw mate- rials. Netflix Inc. fell 5.2 percent. The DVD rental and video streaming com- pany’s sales missed ana- lysts’ expectations late Monday. The company also said recent price changes could discourage some potential customers from subscribing. About two stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was light at 3.7 billion shares.
