Wall Street saw US stocks slide on Tuesday, as fiscal stimulus negotiations lurched into stalemate territory. According to Business Insider, initial results of the third-quarter earnings season kick-off from banks like Citigroup and JPMorgan also failed to impress investors. Apple announced its new iPhone 12 lineup--the tech giant's first major redesign of its flagship product in over 3 years. It didn't go over well: Apple's stock slid, too. And even gold, the ever-popular commodity, fell as much as 1.9%, to $1,886.54 per ounce. However, a breakthrough in stimulus talks could be near, as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell signaled support for passing a deal prior to the upcoming election.
The closing bell rings at the New York Stock Exchange. Wall Street saw no reason to stop rallying as the US economy pulls out of its downturn, lifting the Dow and S&P 500 to their second consecutive record on Friday. IMAGES
