Stocks tumble again as investors weigh Federal Reserve decision and inflation
CBSN
Stocks resumed their slide in early trading Tuesday, pushing financial markets further toward a "correction" — a drop of 10% of more from their most recent high — following Monday's reprieve when shares rallied late in the day.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 667 points, or 1.9%, shortly after the market opened, while the broader S&P 500 slumped 2.4%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 2.7% in early trading on Tuesday.
Prior to Tuesday's slump, the S&P 500 had already lost 8% of its value this year, placing it just shy of a correction. But the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite had declined more than 12% this year and about 14% from its November peak, placing it squarely in that category.

Washington — President Trump said early Monday that he is postponing airstrikes on Iran's power plants after "very good and productive conversations" over the last two days about reopening the Strait of Hormuz. However, Iran's foreign ministry denied any such talks. Claire Day contributed to this report. In:
