«Breaking News» Stock rebound fizzles: Dow Jones gives back 300 points after day of historic gains

Continuing a wild Christmas week on Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has slumped in morning trading, giving back much of the gains it made in a historic trading session a day earlier. 

At 10.15am ET on Thursday, the Dow was down 441.29 points, or 1.93 per cent, to 22,437.16, while the S&P 500 fell 1.27 per cent and the Nasdaq composite sank 1.80 per cent.

It came a day after the Dow notched its biggest-ever point gain of 1,086 points, as the market endures a bout of volatility to end what has been a topsy-turvy year.  

Technology companies, health care stocks and banks, all big gainers on Wednesday when the market had its best day in 10 years, accounted for much of the broad slide. Energy stocks also fell as the price of U.S. crude oil slid 1.5 percent a day after posting its biggest increase in two years.

Volatility has been the norm in December. The Dow has dropped 1 percent or more in eight of the 17 trading sessions. Even with Wednesday's big gains, the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq are all down more than 10 percent for the month.

The market remains on track for its worst December since 1931, during the depths of the Depression, and could finish 2018 with its steepest losses in a decade.

The partial government shutdown that began over the weekend has weighed on the market. Investors have also been unnerved by the personnel turmoil inside the Trump administration, trade tensions with China, the slowing global economy and worries that corporate profits are going to slip sooner or later.

Technology companies, a big driver of the market's gains before the October downturn, slumped Thursday. Texas Instruments dropped 1.3 percent to $91.74.

Perrigo lost 3.3 percent to $39.36, one of the big decliners in the health care sector.

Bank stocks fell along with Treasury yields. Goldman Sachs declined 1.9 percent to $159.82 as the yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 2.76 percent from 2.79 percent late Wednesday.

The decline in oil prices weighed on energy stocks. Marathon Petroleum slid 2.1 percent to $57.14.

Benchmark U.S. crude dropped 1.5 percent to $45.52 a barrel in New York. Brent crude, used to price international oils, was down 1.7 percent to $53.80 a barrel in London.

The dollar fell to 110.81 yen from 111.36 yen on Wednesday. The euro strengthened to $1.1405 from $1.1351.

The slide in U.S. markets followed a sell-off in major indexes in Europe.

In European markets, where trading resumed after a Christmas holiday break, the German DAX slid 2.1 percent, while France's CAC 40 gave up 0.3 percent. Britain's FTSE 100 fell 1.1 percent.

In Asian markets, the Nikkei 225 index rebounded 3.9 percent, while South Korea's Kospi was little changed. The Hang Seng index fell 0.7 percent and Australia's S&P-ASX 200 jumped 1.9 percent. Stocks climbed in Taiwan and throughout Southeast Asia.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
