U.S. stocks ended mixed on Tuesday as investors struggled to shrug off concerns around the prospect of a U.S.-China trade deal and dealt with disappointing earnings.

The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.2%, or 21 points, to end at around 8,571. The S&P 500 snapped its five day winning streak, its longest such stretch since July 15.

In corporate news, Home Depot Inc. fell 5% after after reporting weaker-than-expected same-store sales and a poor outlook.
