Stocks dove again on Wall Street Friday, capping a turbulent week of trading that gave the benchmark S&P 500 index its worst weekly loss since March.
Technology stocks led the broad sell-off, which erased more than 500 points from the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Traders have been worried about worsening trade relations between the U.S. and China, and signals of slower economic growth.
