Industrial Stocks Slide as Volvo Cuts Thousands of Jobs
A sharp rotation out of high-risk assets dragged down industrial and transportation stocks today, as investors retreated to safer ground. Volvo led the decline after the automaker announced a sweeping restructuring effort, confirming plans to slash 2,500 jobs, representing roughly 6% of its total global workforce.

The announcement follows a notable shift in tone from President Trump, who appears to have tempered his previous criticism of the Montreal-based firm.
