The S&P 500 fell 1.2 percent last week as investors continued to watch for clues relating to a Federal Reserve interest rate cut at its monetary policy meeting later this month while also monitoring corporate earnings reports.

David Haggith at The Great Recession Blog lists several indicators suggesting that the US economy may be headed for a recession.
