Stocks fell slightly on Tuesday after delayed economic data came in well above expectations, signaling that the U.S. economy may be holding up better than originally thought.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average traded 53 points lower, or 0.1%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite traded around the flatline.
The Commerce Department reported that the U.S. economy expanded at 4.3% pace in the third quarter, much better than the 3.2% estimate that economists polled by Dow Jones had forecast.
The report — which was postponed from its initially planned release date of Oct. 30 because of the record-breaking U.S. government shutdown – might have spooked investors into believing an interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve in early 2026 is less likely. In fact, following the report's release, fed funds futures traders increased their bets a bit that the central bank would hold rates steady at its January and March meetings, the CME FedWatch Tool showed.
