U.S. stock indexes slipped following the latest discouraging
signal on the U.S. economy.
The S&P 500 fell 0.5% Tuesday, coming off a whipsaw stretch
where it followed its worst day since May with its best since
May. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.1%, and the Nasdaq
composite fell 0.7%.
A weaker-than-expected report on activity for U.S. services
businesses added to worries that President Donald Trump’s
tariffs may be hurting the economy. But hopes for coming cuts to
interest rates by the Federal Reserve, along with a stream of
stronger-than-expected profit reports from U.S. companies,
helped keep the losses in check.
On Tuesday:
The S&P 500 fell 30.75 points, or 0.5%, to 6,299.19.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 61.90 points, or 0.1%, to
44,111.74.
The Nasdaq composite fell 137.03 points, or 0.7%, to 20,916.55.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies rose 13.37 points,
or 0.6%, to 2,225.67.
For the week:
The S&P 500 is up 61.18 points, or 1%.
The Dow is up 523.16 points, or 1.2%.
The Nasdaq is up 266.42 points, or 1.3%.
The Russell 2000 is up 58.89 points, or 2.7%.
