U.S. stocks wobbled Tuesday, with the major indexes hovering around the flatline, while bitcoin prices edged lower again after a period of volatile trading.
The S&P 500 slipped 8.92 points, or 0.2%, to 4188.13, and Dow Jones Industrial Average edged down 81.52 points, 0.2%, to 34312.46. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 4 points, or less than 0.1%, to 13657.17. All three indexes had opened modestly higher before losing steam.
Stocks jumped to start the week, with recent comments from Federal Reserve officials helping to ease concerns that rising inflation could stamp out growth or prompt the central bank to suddenly tighten policy.
