Investors sought safety Tuesday as concerns about spiraling debt loads and disappointing corporate reports tarnished hopes for an economic recovery. Traders turned away from stocks and put money into safe-haven assets like the dollar and Treasurys. An earnings forecast from 3M Co. and a sales report from McDonald's Corp. disappointed investors. Questions about debt levels in places from Greece to the Middle Eastern city-state of Dubai added to investors' concerns.
