The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 324 points, or 0.8 per cent , as of 11:30 a.m. Eastern time.

The S&P 500 was down 0.9 per cent in midday trading, coming off a dizzying stretch where it set a record and briefly tumbled as much as 10 per cent from the mark within just a few weeks .

In stock markets abroad, indexes fell across much of Europe and Asia , but the moves were relatively modest..
