Stock indexes settled moderately lower on Tuesday as they consolidated the past week’s rally to record highs. Higher bond yields Tuesday fueled some profit-taking pressures in stocks following five straight sessions of gains. Also, long liquidation in stocks ahead of Wednesday's US consumer price report weighed on the overall market.
