U.S. STOCK INDEXES SWING LOWER AS OIL, YIELDS JUMP
Wall Street's three main indexes turned lower on Tuesday, with the Dow Industrials .DJI leading losses amid broad pressure from a rally in oil prices and climbing Treasury yields.
The Dow's biggest loser is Johnson & Johnson JNJ.N after news late on Monday that an experimental depression drug it developed with Contineum Therapeutics CTNM.O failed to meet the main goal of a mid-stage study. Contineum shares tumbled more than 11% as a result. 
Meanwhile, U.S. 10-year Treasury yields hit their highest levels since 2007 as investors bet that the Federal Reserve will kick off a series of rate increases next week as it battles stubborn inflation.
Oil prices are higher after attacks on Saudi Arabian energy infrastructure left the kingdom's East-West Pipeline offline, raising fears that damage to energy infrastructure and transport routes could take longer to repair.
With that, energy .SPNY is the sole gainer among the S&P 500's .SPX 11 major industry sectors, adding more than 1%. Consumer Discretionary .SPLRCD is the biggest laggard, off more than 1.2%.
