Wall Street tumbles as S&P 500 slides 2% on signs of US slowdown

A discouraging report suggesting the US economy may have shrunk at the start of the year, before most of President Donald Trump's announced tariffs could take effect, is knocking US stocks lower on Wednesday. The S&P 500 was down 2% in morning trading and on track to break a six-day winning streak. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 702 points, or 1.7%, as of 9:55 am Eastern time, and sharp drops for such AI superstars as Super Micro Computer had the Nasdaq composite falling a market-leading 2.5%. The weaker-than-expected report on the US economy surprised financial markets because economists were expecting to see modest growth, particularly after the economy closed last year running at a solid pace. But importers rushed to bring products into the country before tariffs could raise their prices, which helped drag on the country's overall gross domestic product. Such data raises the threat of a worst-case scenario called stagflation, one where the economy's growth stagnates .

Wall Street sell-off spirals, briefly sends US stocks 10% below its record

Wall Street's sell-off is spiralling Tuesday following President Donald Trump's latest escalation in his trade war, briefly pulling the US stock market 10% below its record set just a few weeks ago. The S&P 500 was down 1.4% in afternoon trading after Trump said he would raise tariffs on steel and aluminum coming from Canada, doubling their planned increase to 50%. The president said it was a response to moves a Canadian province made after Trump began threatening tariffs on one of the United States' most important trading partners. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 678 points, or 1.6%, as of 1:40 pm Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 1% lower. The S&P 500 was sitting at the edge of what Wall Street calls a correction," where it falls 10%, and was sitting within 0.1 percentage points of the mark. Such head-spinning moves are becoming routine following a scary ride for investors where the S&P 500 has swung by at least 1%, up or down, seven times in the last .
