Wall Street drops hard as Korean tensions escalate

[bronxiteforever]

Technology companies led a broad slide in U.S. stocks late Thursday afternoon, giving the stock market its biggest loss in two months. And escalating tensions between the U.S. and North Korea weighed on the market for the third day in a row. Financial companies and department store operators were among the big decliners.

All three major stock indexes saw losses accelerate into the close after President Donald Trump amplified his fiery rhetoric aimed at North Korea's Kim Jong Un on Thursday afternoon.
