How major US stock indexes fared Tuesday
Stock indexes closed unevenly on Wall Street Tuesday as losses in technology companies outweighed gains elsewhere in the market.
A published report indicating that an interim trade deal between the U.S. and China due to be signed Wednesday does not remove tariffs on Chinese goods weighed on the market. Investors also were weighing the first wave of quarterly earnings reports from big companies, including JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Delta Air Lines.
