The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended at 27,147.70, down 1.8 per cent or around 510 points, but more than 400 points above session lows. The broad-based S&P 500 fell 1.2 per cent to 3,281.06, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index edged down 0.1 per cent to 10,778.80.
Stocks were in the red all day, but recovered somewhat the afternoon in apparent bargain-hunting.
