- Dow tumbled more than 600 points on Oct. 23, 2026, as rising oil prices accompanied a market sell-off that hit most sectors.

Why it matters: Oil reaching a five-month high is the concrete shift: investors saw the Dow drop more than 600 points on Oct. 23, 2026, with the sell-off reaching most sectors rather than only Big Tech, and futures slipping as the week ended lower.
