Wall Street’s worst crisis since COVID slammed into a higher, scarier gear. The S&P 500 plummeted 6% Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 5.5% and the Nasdaq composite dropped 5.8%.
The losses came after China matched President Donald Trump’s big raise in tariffs announced earlier this week.
Not even a better-than-expected report on the U.S. job market was enough to stop worries about the escalating trade war possibly causing a recession. The head of the Federal Reserve also warned about how tariffs can push up on inflation.
On Friday:
The S&P 500 fell 322.44 points, or 6%, to 5,074.08.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 2,231.07 points, or 5.5%, to 38,314.86.
