Mar 2025

US stocks fell sharply on Friday as Wall Street grappled with President Trump's escalating trade war and weighed signs of reinvigorated inflation pressures as consumer sentiment plummets.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) gave up 1.6%, or over 700 points, while the benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC) fell 2%. The Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) dropped 2.7% as tech stocks led the declines.
