Wall Street stocks suffered through another brutal session Wednesday after disappointing results from Target exacerbated worries about inflation and profit margins in a slowing economy.

Near the closing bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dove more than 1,150 points, or 3.6 per cent, to 31,493.56.

The broad-based S&P 500 slumped 4.0 per cent to 3,924.18, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index tumbled 4.7 per cent to 11,418.15.
