The stock market experienced a turbulent day, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices hitting six-month lows amidst growing fears of a potential recession. The Nasdaq 100 saw the steepest declines, led by tech companies such as Tesla and Palantir. This downturn was fueled by concerns over the U.S. economy, with President Donald Trump referring to the current economic situation as a “period of transition.”

For the day, Nasdaq fell over 700 points or 4% to 17,468.32, while the S&P 500 slipped nearly 2.7% to 5,614.56, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped about 2.1% to 41,911.71 for the day.
