Sept. 10 (UPI) -- A Wall Street selloff intensified Friday as the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined for a fifth straight day Friday amid continuing unease about the COVID-19 pandemic and higher inflation.
The index ended 271.9 points lower, wiping out a 200-point rally earlier in the day and finishing the holiday-shortened week off by 2.2% -- the second consecutive negative week for the blue-chip average.
