The Dow, S&P 500 Notch Worst Day of the Year
The Dow and the S&P 500 each notched their worst days of the year on Friday after soft economic data dragged on the major indexes.
The Dow fell nearly 750 points, or 1.7%, while the S&P 500 also slipped 1.7%. The Nasdaq Composite fell 2.2%.
The S&P continued to pull back from Wednesday’s record close. Walmart’s disappointing outlook on Thursday sparked selling that picked back up in Friday morning trading following some disappointing surveys from S&P Global on activity in the manufacturing and services sectors.
