Stocks fell sharply on Thursday, a day after a rally that followed Democrats' midterm election victories, according to The Hill's market report. The report said the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled by more than 2,100 points from the opening bell and closed down 1,833 points from the end of trading on Wednesday.

The Hill also reported that the Nasdaq Composite and the S&P 500 declined, but its summary breaks off before giving the size of those drops, so the figures for those two indexes are not stated here.

The Hill described the midterm results as "resounding" and linked the previous day's market gains to them. The summary does not say which races were decided or how the results affected particular companies or sectors.

The Hill's headline describes a post-Election Day surge followed by a market decline. The story was written by Max Rego. The summary available for this account gives no explanation for the reversal and does not say whether investors, analysts, or officials offered one.

The Hill's summary describes the Dow's move in points rather than percentage changes, so this account does likewise. It reports a drop of more than 2,100 points from the opening bell and a closing decline of 1,833 points relative to Wednesday.

Because this account relies only on The Hill's summary, it does not include any detail beyond what that summary provides. Readers who want the complete figures and reporting should consult The Hill's original story.
