The stock-market selloff picked up steam on Friday, pushing the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite into bear-market territory amid fears that President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs have ignited a trade war that will lead to a global economic slowdown.
The Nasdaq Composite COMP on Friday fell 962.82 points, or 5.8%, to end at 15,587.79. The index has now officially entered a bear market for the first time since 2022, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
