Dow Jones Falls 600 Points in Worst Day Since March 2023

  • Nvidia’s strong quarterly results fail to lift broader US stock market
  • Dow Jones Industrial Average drops 1.5% in its worst day since March 2023
  • S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also decline
  • Inflation concerns impacting the market
  • Boeing shares drop after announcing further cash burn expectations
  • Comerica stock falls following regulatory action
  • Gold futures experience third consecutive day of declines

Nvidia’s impressive quarterly performance, driven by record revenue and profits that surpassed Wall Street expectations, was not enough to boost the broader US stock market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average experienced its worst one-day percentage drop since March 2023, with a decline of about 600 points. This marks the second consecutive day of declines for all three major indexes – S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also saw decreases. Inflation concerns have been impacting investor sentiment, as well as expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. Boeing’s shares dropped 7.6% due to increased cash burn expectations, while Comerica’s stock fell after a regulatory action was taken against one of its business units. Gold futures experienced their third day of declines, reversing a recent rally.
