Stocks resumed their slide amid a tech selloff and renewed turmoil in the Middle East.
The drop comes after a two-day rally helped by the absence of trade drama. Worries about the economic impact of President Trump's tariffs previously pushed the S&P 500 into correction territory. A new survey of fund managers showed a record rotation away from U.S. stocks, and growing concern about global growth.
Meanwhile, Trump's push for a rapid end to the war in Ukraine will continue when he speaks to Russia Vladimir Putin. Trump's stance on the conflict has spurred a rearmament drive in Europe, where stocks rose Tuesday as Germany's parliament approved a massive defense-spending package.
