The S&#038;P 500 had one of its worst days in two years, dropping 2%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 715 points, losing 1.7% of its value. The Nasdaq Composite fell 2.7%. On Tuesday, news dropped that the administration\u2019s blanket firings and wildly shifting tariff policies have dropped consumer confidence to a low it has not hit since January 2021. Today\u2019s stock market tumble started after the Commerce Department released data showing that consumer prices are rising faster than economists expected.<\/p>\n<p>AIG chief international economist James Knightley said: \u201cWe are moving in the wrong direction and the concern is that tariffs threaten higher prices, which means the inflation prints are going to remain hot.\u201d Business leaders like lower interest rates, which reduce borrowing costs and make it cheaper to finance business initiatives, but with rising inflation, the Federal Reserve will be less likely to cut interest rates.<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<hr style=\"margin-left: -1em;\" \/>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2>ABC: Myanmar-Thailand earthquake live updates: Over 1,000 dead, officials say<\/h2>\n<p>The 7.7
