Specialist Dilip Patel works at his post on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Monday, Aug. 5, 2024. Nearly everything on Wall Street is tumbling as fear about a slowing U.S. economy worsens and sets off another sell-off for financial markets around the world.The venerable Dow Jones 30-stock index suffered a rare four-figure loss, dropping 1,033 points, or 2.6%.
