April 19, 2016: Here are three stocks trading with relatively heavy volume among 9 equities making new 52-week lows in Tuesday’s session. NYSE advancing stocks beat decliners by more than 2 to 1 and Nasdaq decliners led advancers by 51% to 46% in Tuesday’s trading.

Calumet Specialty Products Partners LP (NASDAQ: CLMT) posted a new 52-week low on Tuesday. Shares traded at a low of $4.45, down about 16%, after closing at $5.30 on Monday. The stock’s 52-week high is $28.49. Volume totaled about 6 times the daily average of around 800,000 shares. Today’s downdraft was less than half as bad as Monday’s, when the shares dropped by half and the volume reached 15 times the daily average. The refining and marketing firm suspended distributions and completed a private placement of $400 million in new debt at 11.5% interest.
