S&P slips for fourth session as earnings, politics weigh

The S&P 500 fell on Tuesday for a fourth consecutive session, weighed by sectors sensitive to economic growth amid disappointing earnings and lingering concern over the priorities of the Trump administration. Technology and financials were the sectors that weighed the most on the S&P 500, while healthcare helped cut losses and the index closed far from its session low. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners on both the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange.
