All three major indices finished solidly lower, with the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index shedding 0.9 per cent to end a streak of three straight records at 10,343.89. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 1.5 per cent to 25,890.18, while the S&P 500 dropped 1.1 per cent to 3,145.32. Major US indices had gained more than 1.5 per cent on Monday, with the Nasdaq finishing at a fresh record, betting that continued stimulus from Washington and moves to restart business activity would more than offset rising Covid-19 counts in Texas, Florida and other US states.
But in media interviews, Atlanta Federal Reserve President Raphael Bostic and Cleveland Federal Reserve President Loretta Mester both expressed concerns that rising Covid-19 infections were slowing the economic recovery.
