Summary
More than 500 Dow points vanished shortly after Friday's open, sending the blue-chip index down 1.1% as the selloff spread across major U.S. benchmarks.
Rising oil prices drove the early retreat, weighing on market sentiment and pressuring stocks at the start of trading.
Bloom Energy, MaxLinear and Western Digital stood out among earnings movers, with AI-linked names drawing attention even as the broader market weakened.
The early slide underscored how quickly higher energy costs can overshadow company-specific results and drag on risk appetite across Wall Street.
