  U.S. stock indexes ended nearly flat on Tuesday, pressured by financial-sector stocks as investors awaited a key inflation reading and braced for major banks to kick off earnings-reporting season later this week.
  
  The S&P 500 was up 0.1%, to end near 5,209.
  
  The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost less than 0.1%, leaving it nearly flat, at around 38,883.
  
  The Nasdaq Composite edged up 0.3%, to finish around 16,306.
  
  The technology-heavy index was up for three consecutive days and booked its largest three-day percentage gain since March 22, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
  
  The widely watched report on March's consumer-price index, due Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time, is expected to provide a monthly progress update on the Federal Reserve's efforts to curb inflation. Investors hope a cooling inflation reading could convince policymakers that it's safe to start lowering interest rates as soon as June.
