• Nasdaq ends 1% down, leading stocks lower as tech shares slump
  U.S. stocks closed lower on Tuesday,...
  U.S. stocks closed lower on Tuesday, with the Nasdaq Composite leading the way down, as Apple’s unveiling of its new iPhone and watch failed to boost appetite for equities. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA shed about 16 points, or about 0.1%, to end near 34,647, while the S&P 500 Index SPX closed 0.6% lower, and the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP slumped 1%. That was the biggest daily percentage drop in about a week for the Nasdaq. Shares of Apple Inc. AAPL, -1.76% were a focus Tuesday as it rolled out a lineup of new consumer products, including its iPhone Pro Max, which will now start at $1,199 instead of $1,099, while its Pro model’s price stays the same. Investors also remain focused on the inflation data, including the release on Wednesday of the consumer-price index for August, before the U.S. stock market opens. Apple shares fell 1.9% on Tuesday.

  (Bloomberg) -- Global oil markets face a supply shortfall of more than 3 million barrels a day next quarter — potentially the biggest deficit in more than a decade — as Saudi Arabia extends its production cuts.
  
  The latest data published by OPEC show why the kingdom’s supply squeeze, amid a period of record demand, has sent oil prices surging beyond $90 a barrel in London. Riyadh announced last week it will extend an extra 1 million-barrel-a-day output reduction until the end of the year, even though markets are already tightening.
