Media, Tech Stocks Skid as U.S. Markets Suffer Worst Drop So Far This Year

U.S. stocks slumped Thursday in the financial markets’ biggest meltdown so far this year, with tech companies taking a harder hit than the media sector in a dramatic reversal of the previous day’s rally.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 1,063.09 points, down 3.1% for the day. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index cratered 5%, down 647 points, marking one of its biggest one-day declines since the outset of the pandemic in March 2020. The market volatility came after the Federal Reserve on Wednesday OK’d a half-percentage-point increase in the interest rate in an attempt to slow the rate of inflation. That news pushed stocks higher, only to have those gains wiped out by Thursday’s pullback.
