The Associated Press | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 4 years, 7 months AGO
Stocks closed lower Tuesday on Wall Street, snapping a four-day winning streak.
Banks and technology companies led the broad slide. Investors were weighing third-quarter earnings reports from several big companies and news that Johnson & Johnson had to temporarily pause a late-stage study of a potential COVID-19 vaccine.
Uncertainty about the prospects for more stimulus for the economy from Washington is also hanging over markets.
On Tuesday:
The S&P 500 fell 22.29 points, or 0.6%, to 3,511.93.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 157.71 points, or 0.6%, to 28,679.81.
