US stocks end lower on worries over inflation, Fed policy

Published by

Wall Street stocks finished sharply lower Thursday as markets bet that the latest inflation report would compel the Federal Reserve to accelerate efforts to tighten monetary policy.

Snapping a two-day winning streak, all three major indices finished solidly lower, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 1.5 percent at 35,241.59.

The broad-based S&P 500 fell 1.8 percent at 4,504.09, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 2.1 percent to 14,185.64.
