Stocks closed lower for a third straight session Tuesday as market participants fretted about sky-high bond yields and the ongoing war in Iran. A sell-off in chip stocks also weighed on sentiment.
At the close, the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.2% at 53,343, the broader S&P 500 was 0.7% lower at 7,691, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was off 1.3% at 26,289.
