The SPY Was Down Today. Here's Why.

U.S. indices traded lower Tuesday amid a continued sell-off in equities, driven by selling in growth stocks and technology stocks. Inflation concerns have also weighed on stocks and further pressured growth sectors.

• The Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 QQQ fell by 0.14% at $325.31.
• The SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust DIA finished lower by 1.39% at $342.91.

Here are the day's winners and losers from the SPY, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Leaders for the S&P 500 were Enphase Energy Inc ENPH, Paypal Holdings Inc PYPL and Twitter Inc TWTR. 

Hanesbrands Inc. HBI, Occidental Petroleum Corporation OXY and HP Inc HPQ were among the largest losers.
