      It’s a military strategy term. If you and I both have armies, and my army attacks your army, and your army retreats, then you would have been “routed”, and I would have caused a “rout”

      In the finance context of the headline here, it just means a financial market dip.

        Or in other words, a financial “retreat” from the expected upward trajectory. Just to make the allusion to military terminology even more explicit.
