May 17 (UPI) -- Responding to the political tumult in Washington, Wall Street ended Wednesday sharply lower while the dollar's value plummeted.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 368 points, or 1.8 percent of its total value, to 20,611 -- the worst single day showing since September. The ICE Dollar Index, a leading indicator of currency valuation, showed the dollar's value dropping far enough to erase the entire rally it's seen since Donald Trump's election victory in November.
