(Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks plunged on Thursday, with the S&P 500 Index falling 1.3 percent for its third straight loss of 1 percent or more, after U.S. President Donald Trump promised to impose substantial tariffs on foreign metals. The benchmark gauge has had a volatile year so far, closing above or below the 1-percent threshold 15 out of 41 trading days, or 37 percent of the time. That easily surpasses the total of last year.
