Stocks registered losses on Tuesday after major indices wrapped up 2022 with their worst full-year performance since the Global Financial Crisis in 2008. The Dow Jones saw out the year 8.8% lower, while the S&P 500 shed 19.4% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq ended 2022 33.1% weaker.
In focus on Tuesday, the International Monetary Fund's managing director Kristalina Georgieva cautioned that 2023 would be a tough year for the global economy as the US, China, and Europe all battle with weakening economic output.
On the macro front, S&P Global's December manufacturing purchasing managers was unrevised at 46.2 in December - marking the biggest contraction in factory activity since May 2020, amid weak client demand.
Elsewhere, construction spending rose 0.2% in November, according to the Census Bureau, bouncing back from the previous month's downwardly revised 0.2% dip and ahead of expectations for a 0.4% drop.
No major corporate earnings were released on Tuesday.
