    Fear is back in the air on Wall Street

    Fear is back in the air on Wall Street

    3 August 2024
    Stocks tumbled yesterday after new government data showed a steep decline in hiring in July, spurring concerns that economic activity is slowing faster than economists expected.

    The blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged more than 980 points, in early trade before paring its losses, to close down 611 points.

    The Nasdaq Composite slid 2.4%, fueled by disappointing quarterly earnings from bellwethers such as Amazon, Intel and Tesla.
