The Dow fell 21 points to 10653.

Friday was a wild and crazy day. Stocks plunged after a disappointing jobs report, then nearly recovered all of their losses.

Better-than-expected corporate earnings helped boost the Dow 7% in July, which was the best month for stocks in a year. But the cloudy outlook for the U.S. economy has weighed on the market so far in August, which is historically a bad month for Wall Street.

Friday's jobs report raised speculation that the government may take additional steps to shore up the recovery as previous economic stimulus measures fade.

Next Week:
The Fed will decide whether another round of stimulus is in order. Cisco Systems, Macy's, Disney and JC Penney will report quarterly results.
