US Equities (Down)

US stocks fell on Tuesday, adding to the biggest selloff in months, as investors worried about the impact of the latest tariff threats on the global economy.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 478.23 points, or 1.14%, to 41,433.48, the S&P 500 lost 42.49 points, or 0.76%, to 5,572.07 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 32.23 points, or 0.18%, to 17,436.10.

Oil prices edged up early on Wednesday, helped by a weaker dollar, but mounting fears of a U.S. economic slowdown and the impact of tariffs on global economic growth capped gains.
