The Dow industrials fell more than 7%, extending the global market selloff that has plunged U.S. stocks into a bear market
The global market selloff that plunged U.S. stocks into a bear market continued at a furious pace Thursday, as investors absorbed news of a travel ban between the U.S. and Europe and fear over the impact of coronavirus continued.
The S&P 500 shed 7% shortly after the opening bell, plunging the index into bear market territory and triggering a 15-minute halt in trading. The drop marked the second time this week that a rarely-used circuit breaker was triggered.
