Following Monday's market euphoria and fresh all-time highs, it was only natural for the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX:XJO) to experience a bit of a correction on Tuesday. Indeed, that's precisely what transpired, with the ASX 200 slipping by 0.23% and closing just below the 8,000-point threshold at 7,999.3 points.

This slower day for ASX shares contrasts with the upbeat start to the American trading week seen last night (our time). The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: DJI) kicked off the week on a strong note, rising by 0.53%, while the Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) also performed well, climbing 0.4%.
