NEW YORK, Dec 3 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks suffered their third
consecutive sell-off on Tuesday after commentary from President
Donald Trump and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross threw cold water
over hopes of a possible near-term respite from the
market-bruising U.S.-China trade war.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI fell 279.56 points,
or 1.01%, to 27,503.48, the S&P 500 .SPX lost 20.61 points, or
0.66%, to 3,093.26 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC dropped
47.34 points, or 0.55%, to 8,520.64.
