US stock market crash today: The Dow Jones Industrial Average crashed 777 points on Friday, February 27, 2026. The S&P 500 dropped 65 points and the Nasdaq fell 257 points. January's Producer Price Index shocked markets, jumping 0.5% — well above the 0.3% forecast. Core inflation hit 0.8%, double expectations. Jack Dorsey's Block announced it was cutting half its workforce due to AI. OpenAI raised $110 billion, valuing itself at $730 billion. Nvidia and Amazon shares fell despite investing.
