How Major US Stock Indexes Fared Feb. 25

Wall Street fell further from its record as worries worsen among U.S. consumers about inflation and tariffs.

The S&P 500 fell 0.5 percent Tuesday for its fourth straight drop after setting an all-time high last week. The Nasdaq composite sank 1.4 percent as Nvidia, Tesla and other high-growth stocks that had been among the market’s biggest stars fell.

A slight majority of U.S. stocks nevertheless rose, including Home Depot after its latest profit report. That helped the Dow Jones Industrial Average hold up better, and it added 0.4 percent. Treasury yields sank as investors looked for something safer to own. Bitcoin’s price also fell sharply.
