Stock market volatility continued on Thursday, standing in stark contrast to the generally calm trading that has gone on throughout much of 2017 to date. Major benchmarks were all down more than 1% before rebounding slightly near the end of the trading day, and the Nasdaq Composite again suffered the worst performance, falling nearly 1.5%. Technology stocks bore the brunt of the damage in the market, while other sectors like financials and energy fared much better on a relative basis.
