Dow travels more than 22,000 points in one of the wildest weeks since the financial crisis
The Dow Jones industrial average posted its worst week in two years. Earlier in the session, the index was on track for its worst week since October 2008, during the financial crisis.
The stock index has traveled more than 22,000 points this week in a volatile few days that kicked off Monday with the Dow's biggest closing point drop on record.
Stocks are falling as traders worry about rising interest rates, and volatility as measured by the VIX has jumped to its highest since the market turmoil of August 2015.
