U.S. markets sank Tuesday, with the blue-chip Dow Jones industrial average sliding 832 points, as a selloff in the technology sector exacerbated concern over rising interest rates and heightened trade tensions.
The 30-member Dow Jones fell 3.2 percent to 25,598, well below a January high reached before President Trump imposed an array of tariffs that corporate America fears will bite into profit margins. The broader S&P 500 tumbled 3.3 percent and the tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 4.1 percent.
