Wall Street Slides as Dow Drops More Than 800 Points on Tariff and AI Concerns

Stocks took a sharp downturn Monday as investors reacted to renewed uncertainty surrounding tariffs and artificial intelligence.

Despite snowy conditions in New York City, trading continued at the New York Stock Exchange — but it was a difficult day for investors. All three major market indexes posted notable losses.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 800 points, marking its largest single-day decline in about a month. Analysts say investor concerns about newly proposed tariffs and broader questions about the impact of artificial intelligence on the economy contributed to the sell-off.

Here are Monday’s closing numbers:

Dow: 48,804.06 (down 821.91, or 1.66%)
S&P 500: 6,837.75 (down 71.76, or 1.04%)
Nasdaq: 22,627.27 (down 258.80, or 1.13%)

Market watchers say volatility could continue as investors weigh economic policy decisions and emerging technology trends.
