Major U.S. stock-indexes fell on Tuesday as investors turned to less-risky assets after Turkey shot down a Russian warplane, even as GDP data indicated healthier economic growth. Crude oil prices were up about 2% on the prospect of more turmoil in the Middle East. Gold also rose.

The U.S. Commerce Department revised third-quarter GDP growth to an annual rate of 2.1%, in line with market expectations but up from 1.5% estimated previously. The data could give the Federal Reserve confidence to raise interest rates at its December meeting.

Most of Dow stocks in negative area (24 of 30). Top looser - Merck & Co. Inc. (MRK, -1.61%). Top gainer - Chevron Corporation (CVX. +0.89%).

Almost all of S&P index sectors also in negative area. Top looser - Services (-1.2%). Top gainer - Conglomerates (+1,2%).
