Wall Street is deep in the red on Thursday. Investors are wrapping their heads around the morning's economic data including the GDP report, which finally put a number on just how badly the economy fared during the spring lockdown, as well as an increase in weekly jobless claims.

The Dow shed nearly some 470 points, or 1.8%, around mid-morning, with only one stock in the index trading in positive territory. The S&P 500, meanwhile, fell 1.4%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was down 0.9%. The biggest stock declines were in energy and basic materials sectors.
