Stocks Decline as Investors Focus on Powell’s Remarks

Tuesday’s decline in U.S. equities placed the major averages on course to reverse the previous session’s gains as investors awaited remarks from the top Federal Reserve official.

By 0.1%, or 68 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell. Both the Nasdaq Composite and the S&P 500 declined by 0.4% and 0.3%, respectively.

Shares of Nvidia dropped by over 2%. Apple and Meta Platforms, two other significant IT companies, saw a minor decline in shares as well.

Wall Street is hoping that Fed Chair Jerome Powell will reveal details about the future actions of the US monetary authority by participating in a panel discussion in Portugal alongside other leaders of central banks.
