Rampaging bulls and bears clashed on Wall Street yesterday, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted by 3.2%, wiping out a staggering $1.2 trillion in market value. Apple and Amazon both fell by over 4%, while JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America saw their stocks plummet by over 5%. The sudden downturn sent shockwaves through the financial sector, with investors scrambling to make sense of the chaos. The Dow's collapse marked the worst single-day performance since the COVID-19 pandemic.
