President Donald Trump blasted the Federal Reserve and Democrats’ impeachment probe on Thursday, saying the inquiry was hurting stocks.

IMPEACHMENT AND STOCKS

Trump charged on Twitter that Democrats’ “Impeachment Hoax” was hurting the stock market, on a day the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.52%   fell 140 points and the S&P 500 index SPX, -0.30%   dropped nine points. The Nasdaq COMP, -0.14%  fell 11 points.

Stocks modestly added to losses after the House of Representatives voted to open the next, public phase of the impeachment inquiry, but worries about a U.S.-China trade deal, more evidence of a slowdown in manufacturing, and mixed corporate earnings were the main drivers of the decline.
