The S&P 500 fell 0.5% Tuesday, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 56 points, or 0.2%. The Nasdaq fell 0.6%.
The next big milestone for the market will be Wednesday’s report on inflation, which has come down but remains high. It could dictate the Federal Reserve’s next move on interest rates. Political leaders are also meeting in Washington Tuesday to try to avoid a default on the U.S. government’s debt.
