Stocks slide anew, wild ride not over
The stock market’s wild ride may not be over yet. The Dow Jones industrials whipsawed again Friday, a day after their largest one-day plunge. The average was down as much as 279 points in the morning, went briefly into the black around lunchtime, then ended with a loss of 139.
NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market’s wild ride may not be over yet.
The Dow Jones industrials whipsawed again Friday, a day after their largest one-day plunge. The average was down as much as 279 points in the morning, went briefly into the black around lunchtime, then ended with a loss of 139.
Not quite as terrifying as the brief 1,000-day plunge the day before, but still extraordinarily volatile. It’s normal for markets to trade erratically a day after such a disruptive move, but analysts are divided over whether stocks are in the process of finding a bottom or whether too many investors are too spooked to get back in.
“It’s a pile of uncertainty ... We don’t have any more clarity than we did yesterday,” said Art Hogan, chief market analyst at Jefferies & Co. in Boston. “We’re going to have investors who are less inclined to be in this marketplace until we get some clarity.”
