It was also the fourth straight down week for the Dow.   The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also plunged, for their third losing week in a row. All three of the major averages declined by more than 2% Friday.   Health care stocks led the sell-off, with HCA Healthcare dropping 21.8% following disappointing quarterly results, and dragging down other stocks in the sector. HCA was the worst-performing stock in the S&P 500. The downturn began Thursday following remarks by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell about the potential of a 50 basis point rate hike at the FOMC's May meeting.   That, combined with disappointing earnings reports, drove the market down through the end of a big earnings week. On Friday, Gap shares sank 18%, and Verizon shares lost 5.6% — both following their quarterly financial reports.   The sell-off on Friday was widespread – all 11 S&P 500 sectors were lower – but had bright spots. SVB Financial Group and Kimberly Clark each added more than 7% despite the surrounding market bloodbath.
