US share markets slipped on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 weighed down by healthcare stocks as investors digested distorted economic data. The US dollar fell after delayed data pointed to softer jobs growth, while energy stocks sank as oil slipped below $60 a barrel amid Russia–Ukraine talks. European equities also retreated, led by sharp declines in defence stocks. Back home, Aussie shares are expected to fall for a third straight session ahead of the mid-year economic update.
