Dow Jones
U.S. stocks fell on Tuesday in the wake of results from IBM (NYSE:IBM) and United Technologies (NYSE:UTX), which curbed some optimism over earnings season, while investors awaited quarterly profits from tech giants including Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). The Dow fell over 1 percent, with IBM and United Tech contributing around 125 points to the drop. The decline put the blue-chip index on track for its biggest percentage decline in about two weeks.
