Stocks’ Sell-Off Worsens Thanks To Trump’s Policies

NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. stock market’s sell-off accelerated as worries built about pain for the economy because of tariffs and other policies by President Donald Trump. The S&P 500 fell 2.7% Monday after coming off its worst week since September. At one point, it was down 3.6% and on track for its worst day since 2022. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 890 points, and the Nasdaq composite sank 4%. Elon Musk’s Tesla fell to one of the market’s sharpest losses, as did airlines and other companies that need U.S. shoppers feeling confident enough to spend. Bitcoin fell below $79,000 from more than $100,000 in December.
