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 dropped 1.32% to 26,166.60.
Investors appear to be rotating out of high-growth tech names amid growing uncertainty.
