How Major US Stock Indexes Fared Aug. 19

Date:

Wall Street fell further from its records.

The S&P 500 lost 0.6 percent Tuesday, its third straight loss after setting its all-time high last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average inched up less than 0.1 percent, and the Nasdaq composite sank 1.5 percent.

Drops for Palantir Technologies, Nvidia, and other stars bid up because of the mania around artificial-intelligence technology led the declines.
