By Philip van Doorn
The damage was widespread as investors showed their displeasure with Trump's tough words for U.S. allies
U.S. stock and bond markets underwent broad declines on Tuesday as investors reacted to various comments from President Donald Trump and concerns over Japan's fiscal health.
One day doesn't make a bear market, but investors returned from the holiday weekend in the U.S. by sending the S&P 500 down 2.1% on Tuesday, with 80% of its component stocks showing declines for the trading session. A list of the day's worst-performing stocks in the large-cap U.S. benchmark index is below.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA fell nearly 871 points, or 1.8%, to close at 48,488.59. The S&P 500's SPX decline was its worst since Oct. 10, when the index fell 2.7%. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP declined 2.4% on Tuesday.
A "sell America" trade was also affecting the bond market, with the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury notes BX:TMUBMUSD10Y rising 7 basis points to 4.30%, its highest level since last summer. And continuous front-month contracts for gold (GC00) rose 3.7% to $4,763.10 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
