    NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Dow industrials and the S&P 500 briefly fell more than 1 percent on Tuesday as traders digested minutes from the most recent Federal Reserve meeting that showed the Fed appeared less keen to launch additional stimulus measures.

The S&P 500 Index fell 13.00 points, or 0.92 percent, to 1,406.04, after touching an intraday low at 1,404.62. The Nasdaq Composite lost 18.70 points, or 0.60 percent, to 3,101.00.
