Major U.S. stock-indexes sharply lower on Tuesday, led by a fall in financial shares, as investors began to question how quickly the Trump administration can implement pro-growth policies. Financials have weakened in tandem with a pullback in bond yields following the Federal Reserve's policy announcement last week. The central bank raised rates by 25 basis points but signaled it would remain on a gradual pace of hike.

Most of Dow stocks in negative area (25 of 30). Top loser - Caterpillar Inc. (CAT-2.64%). Top gainer - The Coca-Cola Company (KO, +0.69%).

Almost all of S&P sectors in negative area. Top loser - Conglomerates (-1.7%). Top gainer - Utilities (+0.3%).
