A recent report indicates that the global stock market experienced a downturn, with major indices falling by around 2% due to fears of an economic slowdown. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped by 500 points, closing at 25,000, while the S&P 500 and NASDAQ also saw declines of 2.5% and 3% respectively. This downward trend was attributed to concerns over trade tensions between the US and China, as well as uncertainty surrounding Brexit. Investors are advised to remain cautious in the current volatile market conditions.
