Wall Street’s sell-off hit a new low following President Donald Trump’s latest escalation in his trade war.
The S&P 500 fell 1.4% Thursday to finish more than 10% below its record, which was set just last month. Professional investors call such a decline a ‘correction,’ and it’s the first for the index since 2023. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.3%, and the Nasdaq composite lost 2%.
Even a pair of encouraging reports showing better-than-expected readings on inflation and joblessness couldn’t offset worries about escalating tariffs around the world. Treasury yields sank in the bond market as pessimism built about the economy.

The S&P 500 fell 77.78 points, or 1.4%, to 5,521.52.
