U.S. stocks ended lower on Tuesday, as fears deepened over a slowing global economy in 2019 amid lowered growth forecast by the International Monetary Fund and gloomy corporate forecasts for 2019 earnings.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 301.87 points, or 1.22 percent, to close at 24404.48. The S&P 500 dropped 37.81 points, or 1.42 percent, to 2,632.90. The Nasdaq Composite Index declined 136.87 points, or 1.91 percent to 7020.36.

As of Monday, the S&P U.S. Listed China 50 index stood at 2,527.87, marking a 10.32-percent surge for the month-to-date returns and a 24.06-percent loss for the year-to-date returns.
