Since early April, the White House has expanded tariffs under Section 301 and Section 232 investigations, covering everything from machinery to consumer electronics. Corporate treasurers report that these levies have prompted supply-chain disruptions and cost pressures, weighing on deal pipelines and capital expenditures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding to the uncertainty, Standard &amp; Poor\u2019s downgraded U.S. sovereign debt last week, marking the first such cut in over 70 years. Though markets initially shrugged off the announcement, the downgrade\u2014coupled with fractious debt ceiling negotiations in Congress\u2014has kept yields elevated and dampened investor confidence in risk assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sector Performance and Notable Movers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Eight of the S&amp;P 500\u2019s eleven sectors traded lower on Tuesday, with Information Technology bearing the brunt.
