How major US stock indexes fared Tuesday

Banks led stocks modestly lower on Wall Street Tuesday, erasing some of the markets’ gains from a big rally a day earlier.

Investors worried that the long-running trade war between the U.S. and China could lead to a recession piled into U.S. government bonds, which sent long-term yields once again falling below short-term ones, a rare phenomenon that has correctly predicted previous recessions.
