Dow Jones Industrial Average Tumbles 140 Points As Apple Inc (AAPL) Drops 2%

U.S. stocks closed sharply lower Tuesday, snapping a two-day winning streak, as investors weighed a series of mixed data reports ahead of the government's jobs report, due out later this week. Tuesday's declines were driven by losses in technology, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbling more than 100 points, prodded by a 2 percent decline from tech giant Apple Inc. Notable companies reporting quarterly results after the closing bell include News Corp., Groupon Inc. and Herbalife Ltd.
