NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 14, 2018 / U.S. market slumped Tuesday as technology stocks fell amid concerns of growing trade tensions between the U.S. and China. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.68 percent to close at 25,007.03, while the S&P 500 Index dipped 0.64 percent to close at 2,765.31. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 1.02 percent to close at 7,511.01. Semiconductor stocks were some of the worst performers as The VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF fell 1.4 percent.
