Ahead of the opening bell, Dow Jones industrial average futures fell 92, or 0.9 percent, to 10,649. Standard & Poor's 500 index futures dropped 12.90, or 1.1 percent, to 1,143.70, while Nasdaq 100 index futures fell 19.75, or 1 percent, to 1,919.75. The Dow rose 404.71, or 3.9 percent, on Monday. The S&P 500 surged 4.4 percent, while the Nasdaq composite index jumped 4.8 percent. The relief rally
-- the market's biggest jump since March 2009 -- came after stocks tumbled late last week. Meanwhile, safe-haven investments all rose Tuesday. U.S. Treasurys, gold and the dollar all gained as investors moved away from risky investments like stocks and oil. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 3.48 percent from 3.54 percent late Monday. The dollar gained back some of the ground it lost Monday against the euro. The dollar is hovering near its strongest levels in 14 months against the shared European currency. Britain's FTSE 100 fell 1.8 percent, Germany's DAX index dropped 1.2 percent, and France's CAC-40 tumbled 2.2 percent. Japan's Nikkei stock average fell 1.1 percent.
