Yesterday was a good day, today's tank is wiping that out and more.
Dow plunges 1,100 points as Wall Street sell-off accelerates
Stocks plunged Thursday — with the Dow plunging more than 1,100 points — wiping out the gains from the previous session’s massive rally.
In midday trading, the Dow Jones industrial average had slumped 3.3 percent. The S&P 500 index sank 165 points, or 3.8 percent, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq was the biggest loser, giving back 651 points, or 5 percent.
Stocks saw a late-afternoon surge Wednesday after the Federal Reserve announced that it would raise interest rates by half a percent. Though it marked the biggest jump since 2000 and Fed Chair Jerome H. Powell said comparable increases were “on the table,” investors seemed relieved after he said the board had not seriously considered going any higher. The Dow closed up more than 932 points, or 2.8 percent. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq composite index soared 3 percent and 3.2 percent, respectively.
