Dow Jones Falls 400 Points Following Biggest One-Day Surge
14:44 GMT 27.12.2018 (Updated: 12:27 GMT 06.08.2022) Stocks fell on Thursday as the Dow Jones industrial index dropped 300 points, and a further 100 points later on: a 400-point total drop, as the stock market retreated following Wednesday's bullish dynamics, Investor's Business Daily reported.
Leading tech stocks, including Apple and Tesla, took a one-percent dive, and chip stocks, such as Advanced Micro Devices and Micron Technology, were under strong pressure on Thursday.
However, the Dow Jones suffered the hardest blow, as it dived 1.76 percent. Other major indices, such as the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ Composite, fell by over one percent.
