U.S. stocks finished mixed on Monday, as investors are debating whether the U.S. economy is weak enough to warrant additional stimulus from the Federal Reserve (Fed). In world markets, European stocks ended lower, with the declines led by the DAX in Germany falling 0.5 percent. Asian markets also ended lower, with the declines led by the Shanghai Composite falling 1.5 percent. Hopes for a third round of asset purchases by the Fed have stimulated market gains this year. But July's better-than-expected jobs report raised questions whether the central bank will need to take further action.
