U.S. stock indices closed Tuesday's trading in decline after a sharp rise the day before. In particular, shares of major technology companies fell significantly. The market was supported earlier this week by a decline in U.S. Treasuries, as well as optimism over the approval of a coronavirus vaccine made by Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) and the prospects of a new aid package for the U.S. economy. The yield on 10-year U.S. government bonds fell below 1.45% this week after jumping to a high for the year of 1.6% a week earlier. The Standard & Poor's 500 fell 31.53 points (0.81%) to 3,870.29 points.
