"Dow Plummets 476 Points, Snapping Win Streak Amid Recession Fears"

The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended its nine-day winning streak as US stocks plunged amid recession fears, dampening investor enthusiasm for expected rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. While rate cuts are typically bullish for stocks, Wall Street strategists have cautioned that they could also signal a slowing economy at risk of tipping into recession. The market rally had been driven by expectations of Fed rate cuts, but concerns about a potential economic downturn have prompted investors to reassess their positions.
