Just like a storm on a hot summer day, volatility struck the market in the last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Between 1:26 p.m. ET on Thursday and 3:10 p.m. yesterday, the S&P 500 dropped 188 points. That was more than double its range for the entire month of July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The selling climaxed on Monday as investors came back from the weekend scared of President Donald Trump’s trade war<\/a> against China. They hammered the index almost 3 percent, its worst one-day drop since early December. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That session was so bearish that only eight of the S&P’s 500 member stocks managed to rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
