On a historically bad day on Wall Street, the NASDAQ broke a record with its largest single-day point drop in the market’s 50-year history as investors responded to President Donald Trump's tariff plan.
Both the NASDAQ and Dow Jones suffered their worst days since March 2020 amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The Dow fell 1,679 points, which ranks in the top five for most points lost in a single day. The NASDAQ fell 1,050 points for its largest one-day drop.
