Technology stocks pulled the S&P 500 lower Tuesday after a disappointing forecast from Oracle damped enthusiasm for the sector.
The retreat by the$標普500指數 (.SPX.US)$'s largest segment helped send the broad index down 0.6% for the day, while the tech-heavy$納斯達克綜合指數 (.IXIC.US)$declined 1%. The$道瓊斯指數 (.DJI.US)$, which is less influenced by tech stocks, slipped 0.1%, or about 18 points.
