NEW YORK - Wall Street stocks sold off sharply on Friday, with all three major U.S. stock indexes posting their biggest one-day percentage declines since Jan. 3, as weak factory data from the United States and Europe led to an inversion of U.S. Treasury yields, fueling fears of a global economic downturn.
An indication of near-term risk, and seen by many as a potential harbinger of recession, the inverted Treasury yield curve seemed to confirm investor fears of a global slowdown in economic growth. Interest rate-sensitive financial firms fell 2.8 percent, capping their worst week since the late-December sell-off.
Nike Inc shares dipped 6.6 percent after the sportswear company’s North American sales fell short of estimates. Boeing Co continued to fall, losing 2.8 percent as Indonesian airline Garuda canceled a $6 billion order for the company’s 737 MAX planes, citing customer fear in the wake of the Ethiopian Airlines crash.
