Stocks fall broadly on Wall Street as inflation worries grow

A broad slide for stocks on Wall Street Friday has the market on pace to end a turbulent week of trading in the red as investors weigh the latest updates on inflation expectations, consumer spending and corporate earnings.

It also showed that overall consumer confidence remains surprisingly strong despite high prices on a wide range of goods.
