Caterpillar fell 2.5% and Citigroup gave up 1.3% Technology companies also lost ground. Nvidia, a chipmaker, fell 1.3%. Traders were disappointed to see that the International Monetary Fund lowered its forecast for global growth this year. And a new threat of US tariffs on European goods helped send markets lower in Europe. The S&P 500 fell 17 points, or 0.6%, to 2,878.
