Home Depot Inc. (NYSE:HD) shares closed -4.09%, falling 6.27 points to $147.03 per share during the trading session on Monday. The clear decline for unclear reasons weighed down the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI).

The blue chip index closed -28.97 points, or -0.13% to 21,611.78.

The decline comes as Sears Holdings Corp (NASDAQ:SHLD) announced an agreement to sell its signature Kenmore appliances on Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN). Shares were up 18% before settling at a 0.92-point gain, or 10.6% to $9.60 per share.
