US OPEN: Wall Street opens mixed after long weekend

• S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite hit new record highs
• ISM Services PMI survey below expectations
• Pinduoduo (PDD.US) stock fell 2% on regulation worries

US indices launched today's session in mixed moods as Wall Street kicked off the holiday-shortened week with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite at record highs. On the data front, the ISM Services PMI dropped to 60.1 in June from an all-time high of 64 in May, and compared to analysts' estimates of 63.5. Despite the fact that the reading was below market expectations, it still points to a strong growth in the services sector. In the absence of further catalysts, investors await tomorrow’s FOMC minutes release for more hints on the Fed's hawkish pivot.
