U.S. stocks finished sharply lower Tuesday, with all three major indexes posting their worst daily drop since June 2020 as high U.S. inflation has proven hard for the Federal Reserve to tame through rate hikes. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -3.94% fell about 1,276 points, or 3.9%, ending near 31,104. The S&P 500 index SPX, -4.32% shed 4.3% and the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -5.16% tumbled 5.2%. While off the session's worst levels, the plunge for stocks still was the worst daily percentage drop for all three indexes since June 11, 2020, according to Dow Jones Market Data. Investors hit the sell button on equities after the August consumer-price index, or CPI, rose 0.1% in August, though the year-over-year rate slowed to 8.3% from 8.5% in July. That was a higher reading than many on Wall Street expected, spurring some to warn the Fed could raise its benchmark policy rate by as much as 1% at its meeting next week, something the central bank hasn't done since the 1980s.

The Interior Department on Monday announced beefed-up regulations for offshore oil and natural gas drilling, including tougher standards for blowout preventers and a requirement that operators send data about equipment failures directly to the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement. In response, American Petroleum Institute Vice President of Upstream Policy Cole Ramsey said, "The politicization of this rule and subsequent shift in policy from administration to administration only increases uncertainty for producers and fails to meaningfully improve offshore safety."
The system is expected to approach the Leeward Islands on the eastern edge of the Caribbean by the end of the week. It currently has a 40% chance for development over the next five days.
