March 10, 2025 – Investors told Wall Street to brace itself today as a brutal sell-off gripped the U.S. stock market, with the Nasdaq Composite plunging 4%—its steepest single-day drop since 2022—and the S&P 500 shedding 2.7%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average wasn’t spared, tumbling nearly 900 points, or over 2%, as traders dumped shares in a frenzy sparked by mounting recession fears and uncertainty over President Donald Trump’s evolving tariff policies.
This isn’t a new fight for markets; they’ve been wrestling with volatility for weeks, battered by everything from disappointing economic data to policy whiplash out of Washington. Pushback from corporate leaders and global trade partners has only deepened the chaos, but today’s rout marks a sharp escalation—one that’s got everyone from retail investors to hedge fund managers on edge.
