The US Dow Jones Industrial Average suffered its worst fall since early 2022 by the close of trading on Thursday.

The Dow Jones lost 1,063.09 points (3.12%) in the trading session, falling to 32,997.97 points, as the New York Stock Exchange data showed, amid a 0.5-point increase in the benchmark interest rate by the US Federal Reserve (Fed).

According to experts, the Fed's policy is provoking serious volatility in the market, which will continue until inflation declines.

Also, on the NYSE, the number of securities that declined (2,853) exceeded the number that closed on the plus side (354), while 97 stocks were almost flat. On Nasdaq, 3,174 companies fell, 607 rose and 221 remained flat at the previous close.
