Investors looking cautious as shoppers gear up for Cyber Monday

Yahoo Finance

Wall Street’s record-breaking rally is hitting some resistance. Stocks started the day in the minus column with the dollar and US bond yields falling from recent peaks and oil prices volatile ahead of a crucial OPEC meeting on Wednesday.

Here are some of the other stories the Yahoo Finance team is covering today.

Cyber Monday madness
Last year Amazon (AMZN) customers bought 54 million items on Cyber Monday—a record-breaking 629 items per second. Amazon expects to top that record this year. The latest figures from the National Retail Federation show online spending over the weekend grew at the expense of in-store spending for a straight second year. What does this all mean for brick-and-mortar retailers?

Apple may throw a curve
Apple (AAPL) may turn to curved smartphone screens to boost sales. The Wall Street Journal reports that an iPhone with a curved screen could be on store shelves as soon as next year when the iPhone marks its 10th anniversary. The paper says an iPhone with a thinner, so-called organic light emitting display—or OLED—would come with a higher price tag because the screens cost more to produce. What’s the potential payoff?

AT&T goes over the top
Investors are waiting for details of AT&T’s (T) new TV streaming service called DirecTV Now. AT&T will unveil specifics of its long-awaited service today. Unlike Netflix or Hulu, DirecTV Now is intended to provide a full cable lineup for households. It’s expected to cost $35 dollars a month and offer more than 100 live-streaming TV channels. How big a player will AT&T become in this market?
