The S&P 500 edged down 11.81 points, or 0.3%, to 3577.03, a nearly two-year low. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 28.34 points, or 0.1%, closing at 29210.85. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 9.09 points, or 0.1%, to 10417.10, a day after the tech-heavy index entered its second bear market of 2022, marking a drop of more than 20% from its recent high on Aug. 15.
