Dramatic market swings left investors reeling as the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 1.2% yesterday, wiping out nearly $1 trillion in market value. JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America saw their shares decline by as much as 5%, while major tech companies like Apple and Google suffered losses of 3% and 2%, respectively.
