The Closing Bell: Dow Records Seventh Straight Session Of Losses: Gold Up, Oil Down

FYI:
Wall Street fell on Tuesday, with each of the major indexes on track for their worst day in over a month, as economic data and weaker than expected auto sales spurred growth concerns.

Shares of Ford (F.N) and General Motors (GM.N) dropped more than 4 percent each after the two major U.S. automakers reported July vehicle sales slightly below expectations.

The declines in the automakers pulled the S&P consumer discretionary sector .SPLRCD down 1.5 percent as the worst performing of the 10 major S&P groups.
