It may have been super Tuesday across polling booths in US, but there was nothing super about Tuesday for Wall Street. US markets suffered one of their biggest one-day percentage drop in nearly a year, after the services sector unexpectedly contracted in January and a Fed officials hinted at the possibility of a mild recession.
The ISM's non-manufacturing index, which assesses banks, retailers and construction companies, slipped to 44.6%. A number below 50 reflects contraction.
Recession fears slammed sectors across the board. Banks and other financial services stocks were hit particularly hard after S&P said it could cut bank credit ratings. Goldman Sachs shares slipped after Oppenheimer downgraded its rating on the stock to "perform" from "outperform".
The Dow plunged 370.03 points, or 2.93%, to 12,265.13. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 44.18 points, or 3.20%, closing at 1,336.64, while the Nasdaq composite index slipped 73.28 points, or 3.08%, to 2,309.57.
