The major US stock exchanges closed Tuesday's session in negative territory, registering significant losses. The Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq all finished in the red.
The day was marked by an oil "rally", driven by the United States' attacks on Iranian ships. This escalation of tension in the Middle East caused crude prices to rise significantly.
Investors showed concern over the increase in geopolitical instability in the region, which negatively affected sentiment in the US stock markets.
