U.S. stocks suffered significant declines Tuesday, as the technology sector led the market lower and the oil route continued.

• The Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA,
-2.67%

dipped 632 points (or 2.7%) to close at 23,018.88. The index is now down 22.1% from its closing high Feb. 12. (All figures in this article exclude dividends.)

• The S&P 500 Index
SPX,
-3.06%

sank 3.1% and ended 19.2% below its record closing level set Feb. 19. This was the worst decline for the benchmark since it fell 4.4% on April 1.

• The Nasdaq Composite Index
COMP,
-3.47%

fell 3.5% and ended 15.8% below its record closing high Feb. 19.

The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil contract for delivery in May expired Tuesday after sinking below zero Monday. West Texas crude for June delivery
CLM20,
+17.28%

fell 35% to $13.24 a barrel, while WTI for September delivery
CLU20,
+9.26%

was down 16% to $24.99. MarketWatch’s William Watts explained the oil “contango” situation, which has led producers and traders to a scramble for storage in anticipation of higher selling prices several months out.

President Trump said he had directed Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to prepare a plan for federal aid to the oil and gas industry.
