The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 111.97, closing at 17,068.87.

The Nasdaq ended the session at 4,547.83, down 57.33, while the S&P 500 closed down 16.88, at 1,972.75.

The value of the Russian ruble continued to fall Tuesday, with Secretary of State John Kerry denying a link to sanctions levied against Russia. Russia’s central bank raised interest rates Tuesday morning in an effort to stop the freefall, but the move has done little to stem the tide.
