Walt Disney Co ( DIS ) shares fell 9.5% on Tuesday after the company reported weaker-than-expected quarterly sales. Peloton Interactive, Inc ( PTON ). shares jumped over 15% following a report suggesting that private equity firms are eyeing the company for a potential buyout.

Most sectors on the S&P 500 closed on a positive note, with materials, utilities and consumer staples stocks recording the biggest gains on Tuesday. However, consumer discretionary and information technology stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.

What is CNN Business Fear & Greed Index?

The Fear & Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.
