The Nasdaq fell triple digits as well, while the S&P 500 suffered its own steep loss, marking its lowest close of 2022. Additionally, bond yields resumed their rise after yesterday's noteworthy slide. 

The Dow Jones Average (DJI - 29,225.61) dropped 458.1 points or 1.5% for the session. Travelers (TRV) led the only two winners with a 1.2% rise, while Boeing (BA) landed at the bottom of the list with a 6.1% drop.

The S&P 500 Index (SPX - 3,640.47) shed 78.6 points, or 2.1%, while the Nasdaq Composite (IXIC - 10,737.51) fell 314.1 points, or 2.8%. 

Lastly, the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX - 31.84) added 1.7 points, or 5.5%, today.
