NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / December 6, 2017 / U.S. markets slumped Tuesday as the recent sell of technology stocks continued. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.45 percent to close at 24,180.64, while the S&P 500 Index fell 0.37 percent to close at 2,629.57. The Nasdaq Composite Index decreased 0.19 percent to close at 6,762.21. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have posted a three-day losing streak, the first for the S&P 500 since August.

"The Nasdaq Composite Index was getting a little frothy, so it?s not surprising to see that some details in the proposed tax bill that would impact tech companies turned out to be a catalyst for a selloff in these stocks over the past few sessions," said Quincy Krosby, chief market strategist at Prudential Financial.
