How major US stock market indexes fared on Tuesday
U.S. stock indexes closed little changed Tuesday as gains in real estate and industrial companies were canceled out by losses in technology and other sectors.
Technology stocks declined the most, while real estate companies notched the biggest gain. Trading was mostly light ahead of the Easter holiday weekend as investors kept an eye on rising geopolitical tensions.
