Stocks slide as Dow wraps up its worst first quarter ever

Stocks declined Tuesday, the last day of the first quarter, as traders wrapped up a period of historic market volatility sparked by the coronavirus pandemic.

The Dow was down 240 points, or 1.1%, while the S&P 500 fell 0.9% and the Nasdaq slid 0.4%. The Dow was down as much as 1.3% at its low.

The Dow jumped nearly 700 points Monday led by an 8% pop in Johnson & Johnson after it announced a vaccine candidate for the coronavirus. The S&P 500 rallied 3.4%.

Investors embraced a more realistic government approach to contain the pandemic. President Donald Trump extended the timeline for social distancing guidelines to April 30, which many believe will reduce economic damage in the long run.
