NEW YORK — Wall Street’s sell-off is slowing on Tuesday, for now at least, following a scary stretch where worries about the economy and tariffs sent it close to 9% below its all-time high. The S&P 500 was 0.2% higher in early trading. While only modest, the gain would provide a respite after the main measure of Wall Street’s health swung by at least 1%, up or down, seven times in the last eight days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 132 points, or 0.3%, as of 9:50 a.m. Eastern time.
