The top headline stories that move the world today.
US Stocks have suffered their biggest single day wipeout in market value
since the COVID route in March 2020.
Dozens of household name stocks posted double digit declines including hp, Nike and Target.
The US Dollar sank.
Oil and gold both fell and investors dashed for the safety of Treasuries.
The decline sets up financial markets for one of their most precarious periods in recent years as the tariffs and the international reaction test the faith investors used to stick with stocks.
The Dow fell more than 1600 points, or about 4%.
The S&P 500 slid about 5%.
And the Nasdaq was down more than 1000 points, ending the day roughly 6% lower.
All in all, US stocks have lost roughly $3.1 trillion in market value.
