Dow confirms correction as traders worry about war

March 27 (Reuters) - The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI fell 1.7% on Friday, leaving the blue-chip index down 10% from its record high close on February 10 and confirming it has been in a correction since then.

In a broad Wall Street selloff fueled by uncertainty about the U.S. and Israeli war with Iran, the Dow in recent days has suffered its worst decline since April 2025, when U.S. President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" global tariff announcement sent global markets into a tailspin.
