US equity markets closed lower on Tuesday, with the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 posting fresh declines as selling pressure intensified across the technology sector.
The broad-based weakness marks a continuation of the downturn that began Monday, when the Nasdaq fell 1.32% and the S&P 500 dropped 0.4%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average managed to buck the broader market trend, rising 187.97 points, or 0.36%, to close at 51,854.81.
The divergence highlights a rotation away from growth-heavy tech names toward more defensive or value-oriented components within the blue-chip index.
The persistent sell-off in technology stocks suggests investors are remaining cautious amid ongoing market volatility.
With the Nasdaq and S&P 500 extending their losses for a second day, traders are closely monitoring whether the weakness will broaden further or if support levels will hold in the coming sessions.
