Market Performance: The S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq 100 all closed lower on Tuesday, with declines attributed to a retreat in chipmakers after an initial rally. Despite optimism surrounding AI sector growth, hawkish comments from Fed officials and the ongoing US government shutdown weighed on market sentiment.

Economic Indicators: US consumer credit growth was weaker than expected, and the government shutdown is causing delays in key economic reports, potentially impacting jobless claims and inflation data. The Fed is expected to cut interest rates at the next meeting, with a 93% chance of a -25 bp cut.
