U.S. stock market today<\/p>\n

U.S. markets<\/a> closed lower on Tuesday, snapping three-day streak of record highs, after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell noted that upcoming rate decisions would need to balance inflation risks with a slowing labor market.<\/p>\n

Powell also remarked that equity valuations remain relatively overvalued but gave little indication of when the Fed might implement its next rate cut. Last week, the central bank reduced rates for the first time this year and signaled the possibility of more cuts ahead.<\/p>\n

The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 88.76 points, or 0.19 per cent, to 46,292.78. The S&P 500 dropped 36.83 points, or 0.55 per cent, to 6,656.92, while the Nasdaq Composite declined 215.50 points, or 0.95 per cent, to 22,573.47.<\/p>\n

The Nasdaq was the biggest drag, as Nvidia shares slipped 2.8 per cent after gaining in the prior session when the chipmaker announced plans to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI.<\/p>\n

Amazon.com, Microsoft, and Apple shares also closed lower.<\/p>\n
