“The S & P 500 and Nasdaq closed the March 30 session at their lowest levels since attacks began on the final day of February.”
DISPUTED
The claim asserts the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at their lowest levels since February 28, 2023, on March 30, 2023. However, web search evidence explicitly states the S&P 500 closed at its lowest level since the end of July 2022, which directly contradicts the claim's February 2023 reference. No other sources corroborate the specific February 28 date.

“The S & P 500 and Nasdaq have staged stunning rallies — gaining 10.7% and 15.5%, respectively, as of Wednesday's close, which were record closing highs for both.”
DISPUTED
Sources report conflicting information: one web search result mentions a rally with gains (supporting the claim), while another states the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed lower. The Wikipedia entries provide no specific data on record highs for this period. Discrepancies in directional movement (rally vs. decline) create a contradiction.
