The S&P 500 was down 0.4% and the tech-laden index was down 0.7%.

The markets initially opened higher after the holiday weekend but soon turned negative despite more strong economic data that showed that the U.S. services sector grew at a faster rate than expected in August

Solid economic data combined with a stronger-than- expected jobs report last Friday has led investors to bet on the Federal Reserve hiking interest rates more aggressively and for a longer period of time.

The ten-year Treasury note jumped as much as 3.35%, while the two-year Treasury rose to as much as 3.51%, adding to the pressure on the stock market.

The technology and energy sectors led the market declines, with some of the only positives coming from real estate, utilities and healthcare stocks.

The CFO of Bed Bath & Beyond died by suicide over the weekend and the company announced an interim appointment on Tuesday.

Vital Knowledge founder Adam says that market psychology is very gloomy and that people aren't all that eager to buy the dip.

The S&P 500 is now down 18% for the year, not far off from its low point in June.
