US stocks edged lower on Tuesday as Wall Street's recent robust momentum showed signs of waning. This comes after benchmark indices achieved record highs on consecutive days.

The S&P 500 slipped by 0.3%, indicating its first potential loss in four days. Concurrently, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 30 points, and the Nasdaq Composite saw a 0.4% decline.

Tesla was a significant drag on the market, influenced by a deepening rift between its CEO, Elon Musk, and President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Treasury yields held steady as investors awaited key economic reports on manufacturing and job openings.
