How major US stock indexes fared Friday, 3/28/2025

Another wipeout slammed Wall Street as worries built about a potentially toxic mix of worsening inflation and a U.S. economy slowing because of households afraid to spend due to the global trade war.

The S&P 500 dropped 2% Friday, as four out of every five stocks within the index fell. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1.7%, and the Nasdaq composite tumbled 2.7%.

Lululemon Athletica led the market lower after warning that its revenue growth may slow, in part because shoppers are spending less due to concerns about inflation and the economy.
