The sell-off has resumed on Wall Street.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed just over one thousand points – or 4.1 per cent – dropping to 23,860.

The index is now 10 percent below the record high the Dow set just two weeks ago – putting it in what is known on Wall Street as a ”correction.”

The slide came despite encouraging earnings and some positive economic data – but it appears investors are worried about interest rates and inflation.
