How major US stock indexes fared Tuesday

Stocks closed lower on Wall Street Tuesday, breaking an eight-day winning streak for the S&P 500 index.

Industrial, financial and technology companies accounted for much of the slide. The sell-off came as traders weighed growing trade tensions between the U.S. and the European Union, and a report forecasting dimmer global economic growth this year.

The S&P 500 index fell 17.57 points, or 0.6%, to 2,878.20.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 190.44 points, or 0.7%, to 26,150.58.

The Nasdaq composite slid 44.61 points, or 0.6%, to 7,909.28.

The Russell 2000 index of small-cap stocks gave up 19.32 points, or 1.2%, or 1,559.68.
