US stocks were battered by a sell-off Friday after China retaliated against the United States for President Donald Trump’s tariffs in a tit-for-tat that escalates a global trade war.

The Dow plunged by 1,950 points Friday afternoon, or 4.82%, pulling back slightly after being down more than 2,000 points. The broader S&P 500 was 5.4% lower. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was 5.36% lower and on track to close in a bear market — down more than 20% from its record high in December.

    Is there a site with a list of stats, some stuff like current stock index prices, interest rates, employment rate, and then some more basic stats like gasoline prices, egg prices, milk prices, etc, from before inauguration day and today with diff?

    This has to exist somewhere already right?

      Sounds like you’re asking for the Consumer price index. Not sure how often it gets calculated though
