US equity markets closed in negative territory on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting modest losses while the Dow Jones Industrial Average remained largely flat.
The S&P 500 declined 0.14% to close at 7,358.22, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.43% to 25,476.64.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average showed resilience, ending the session with minimal change.
Selling pressure in the technology sector was the primary driver of the decline, dragging the Nasdaq Composite lower.
The broader market also lost ground, reflecting cautious sentiment among investors.
The divergence between the tech-heavy Nasdaq and the more industrially focused Dow highlights the sector-specific nature of the current market weakness.
