A widespread washout across Wall Street dragged U.S. stocks lower.
The S&P 500 fell 0.8 percent Thursday to pull further from its all-time high set on Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average sank 1.3 percent from its own record set a day before, while the Nasdaq composite was 0.7 percent lower.
Apple, Microsoft and other Big Tech stocks once again led the market lower. Unlike much of the last week, Thursday’s losses hit many corners of the market. Smaller stocks, which had been cranking higher after badly lagging their larger rivals, fell more than the rest of the market.
