Dow tumbles as volatility jumps, American Express gains

U.S. stocks opened lower in what may be another volatile session for investors following the massive swings experienced Monday. 

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell over 500 points or 1.6%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite lost over 2%. 

Declines today follow Monday’s wild turnaround, which had the Dow rebound from a 1,000-plus-point drop and also followed a three-week decline for the S&P 500, concluding with its worst weekly stretch since the start of the pandemic. 

The VIX Index, the so-called fear gauge, is on pace for the 7th straight day of gains, the longest winning streak since October 2020.
