US Stocks Slip Modestly Amid Oil Price Volatility
The US stock market saw modest losses on Tuesday, failing to build on its recent records. The S&P 500 dropped 0.3% for a second consecutive day since reaching an all-time high on Friday.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 184 points, or 0.3%, and the Nasdaq composite sank 0.6%. Oil prices continued to swing due to uncertainty about when crude oil will flow freely again following the war with Iran.
