Stocks drop 200 points amid lingering worries over Trump controversies
Stocks fell Thursday on concerns President Trump's recent controversies will not allow him to work with Congress to pass business-friendly legislation.
The Dow average fell 200 points on fears that Gary Cohn, a business-friendly adviser to the president, could resign his role as director of National Economic Council because of Trump's remarks after the violent protests in Charlottesville, Va.
The S&P 500 dropped 1.1 percent, with information technology leading decliners. The Nasdaq lagged, falling 1.5 percent.
"This [situation] is definitely disappointing for investors holding out hope for tax reform," said Mike Baele, the managing director at U.S. Bank Private Client Reserve. "It doesn't mean it's not going to happen, but it certainly" dampens the outlook.*
