Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA®  

The U.S. stock market ended in red on Tuesday with energy stocks being the worst performers of the day.

The DJIA declined 0.31%, S&P 500 dropped 0.49% and the Nasdaq Composite weakened 0.61% during the session. The European stock market also declined, led by weakness in energy companies as Brent oil fell to a five and a half year low on persistent concerns about a global supply glut. The Asian stock market closed broadly lower too. The Japanese government on Tuesday agreed to a tax reform, approving a plan to cut corporate taxes by 2.51 percentage point from April 2015 and then by another 0.78 percentage points in the following year, in an effort to spur economic growth.

Board of Directors of SEACOR Holdings Inc.
