Representational Picture

The Dow Jones Industrial Average has tumbled more than 1000 points, dropping below 25,000, which is the worst fall in points since September 2008. Amid a two-day loss of more than 1,600 points, it has lost its gains for the year. However, it later gained back some ground as volatility returned to the stock market with a vengeance after a year of rare tranquillity, The Washington Post reported.
