U.S. stocks dropped Tuesday, wiping out Monday's gains in another sign that the nearly three-month rally could be on shaky ground. After losing 11% in the first roughly six weeks of the year, the S&P 500 bounced back just as quickly. But as gains taper off, investors have become largely ambivalent about stocks, and any cracks in global economic growth can spur a pullback, analysts said. Tuesday's declines followed a renewed fall in oil prices, a drop in Chinese manufacturing and signals that eurozone growth this year will be weaker than previously forecast. Traders said the slump in stocks was exacerbated by low trading volumes.
