The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended down 1.9 percent, or 525 points, at 26,764.25. The broad-based S&P 500 dropped 2.4 percent to 3,236.92, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index shed 3.0 percent to 10,632.99. “The mega caps started weak and there was just no buying support,” said Briefing.com analyst Patrick O’Hare. O’Hare said fresh restrictions in Europe in response to higher coronavirus cases raised worries about a similar dynamic in the United States. Investors are also disappointed that Washington lawmakers haven’t reached an agreement on more stimulus and uneasy over speculation that the US presidential election could drag on due to slow vote counts or legal challenges, he said. The Business Roundtable on Wednesday joined a chorus of groups and lawmakers calling for more stimulus spending, saying the failure to act risks “long-term damage” to the US economy.
