How major US stock indexes fared Tuesday

Stocks closed lower Tuesday on Wall Street, snapping a four-day winning streak.

Banks and technology companies led the broad slide. Investors were weighing third-quarter earnings reports from several big companies and news that Johnson & Johnson had to temporarily pause a late-stage study of a potential COVID-19 vaccine.

Uncertainty about the prospects for more stimulus for the economy from Washington is also hanging over markets.
