The Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased 402.23 points, or 1.23 percent, to 32,396.17. The S&P 500 fell 27.44 points, or 0.67 percent, to 4,091.19. The Nasdaq Composite Index slipped 20.22 points, or 0.16 percent, to 12,348.76.

The U.S. Labor Department reported Tuesday that U.S. job openings fell to 10.7 million in June from 11.3 million in May, in a potential sign that a tight labor market is starting to cool off as the economy slows.
