Dow Jones Industrial Average Posted Its Biggest Loss Since 2020

CNBC: Dow drops 1,100 points for its biggest decline since 2020 as the sell-off this year on Wall Street intensifies 

The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted its biggest loss since 2020 on Wednesday after another major retailer warned of rising cost pressures, confirming investors’ worst fears over rising inflation and rekindling the brutal 2022 sell-off. 

The Dow shed 1,164.52 points, or 3.57%, to 31,490.07, the average’s biggest decline since June 2020. It was the lowest close for the Dow since March 2021. 

The S&P 500 traded 4.04% lower to 3,923.68, also the worst drop since June 2020. 

The Nasdaq Composite slipped 4.73% to 11,418.15, which is the largest fall in the tech-heavy index since May 5. 

The selling was broad and intense on Wall Street with just eight members of the S&P 500 in the green.
