U.S. stocks saw their third-straight trading day of heavy declines as recession fears continued to mount and Wall Street abandoned a popular trade that had helped counter high interest rates.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down roughly 900 points or nearly 2.5% Monday morning, while the S&P 500 declined 2.3% and the tech-focused Nasdaq fell 2.5%.
