The S&P 500 dropped 0.8% to pull further from its all-time high set on Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 533 points, or 1.3%, from its own record set a day before, while the Nasdaq composite sank 0.7%.

The sharpest loss came from Domino’s Pizza, which dropped 13.6% despite topping analysts’ expectations for profit in the spring. Stocks of chip companies stabilized a bit after tumbling a day earlier amid worries about potentially worsening tensions with China. U.S.-traded shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. rose 0.4% after the industry giant reported stronger profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected.
