Slumping energy stocks pulled the broader market slightly lower Tuesday, erasing small gains from the day before.

A sharp drop in crude oil prices weighed down the energy sector. Disappointing results or outlooks from retailers and other companies also weighed on the market. Utilities and consumer goods companies rose.
