Stocks closed lower on Wall Street Tuesday, breaking an eight-day winning streak for the S&P 500 index.
Industrial, financial and technology companies accounted for much of the slide. The sell-off came as traders weighed growing trade tensions between the U.S. and the European Union, and a report forecasting dimmer global economic growth this year.
