It’s been a continual seesaw for stocks this week amid persistent worries of slowing global economic growth and concerns that companies have seen peak earnings growth. Friday continued the trend, starting out on a sour note following earnings reports from two of the biggest tech companies.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.89% was down as much as 2.2% in morning trading, while the S&P 500 index SPX, -1.27% lost as much as 2.9% and the Nasdaq Composite COMP, -1.69% declined as much as 3.6%.
Mixed results from Amazon.com AMZN, -7.25% disappointed investors and sent the shares down as much as 10% in morning trading. Google holding company Alphabet GOOG, -2.20% GOOGL, -2.07% beat analysts’ earnings estimates but reported sales that didn’t grow as fast as expected, and those shares fell as well.
