US equities tumbled on global growth concerns
US stocks tumbled on Tuesday as market sentiment was dampened after the IMF cut global growth forecast. Weighting down on the US equities, S&P 500 companies are expected to post annualized losses in Q3, for the first time in three years. Disappointing comments by Mario Draghi also pressurized US shares. The S&P 500 Index plunged 0.99% to close at 1,441.48.
