On Tuesday, U.S. stocks were in the red, primarily driven by losses in the tech and semiconductor sectors. The market experienced a $1 trillion reduction in total market cap. The Dow fell by over 600 points, while the Nasdaq dropped by 3%. Nvidia, a leading semiconductor company, was hit hard, with its stock down more than 7%.
