The world’s most widely followed stock-market benchmark slid into a correction on Thursday, a drop that underscores how the two-year-long bull market is running out of steam in the early days of the Trump administration.
The move stems from investors’ growing pessimism about the whipsawing policy pronouncements from Washington over the past few weeks. On-again, off-again tariffs and mass layoffs of federal workers have fomented unease on Wall Street.
On Thursday, the S&P 500 fell 1.4 percent. After weeks of selling, the index is now down 10.1 percent from a peak that it reached less than one month ago and is in a correction — a Wall Street term for when an index falls 10 percent or more from its peak, and a line in the sand for investors worried about a sell-off gathering steam.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The markets thought Trump and Musky would “just” slash regulations allowing companies to run rampant and make more money. Instead they got the full brunt of the combined stupidity of a Republican controlled government. Add in the useless Democrat party lead by the equally useless, and even more spineless, Schumer and Jefferries and who do corpos, and thus the markets, have to look to for hope? Nobody.
Welcome to hell fuckos!
What a terribly worded article. It’s not “running out of steam”, this was completely avoidable. The Trump/Elon administration’s policies and actions are literally knee-capping the economy.
Let’s take a dive!
Not to worry. Once all those pesky regulations from entities like the EPA, FTC, FAA, etc. are all wiped out the corporations will see huge profits unlike anything they’ve ever seen before.
