Stocks retreated from a record high set earlier this week on Wall Street.

The S&P 500 fell 0.7% Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 190 points, or 0.5%, and the Nasdaq fell 1%.

Treasury yields edged higher in the bond market.

Adobe slumped after giving investors a weak revenue forecast.
