Stocks nosedived on Wall Street Thursday, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average down by nearly 1,200 points and deepening a weeklong global market rout.
Bond prices soared again, sending the yield on the 10-year Treasury to another record low. Iinvestors worried that the coronavirus outbreak will wreak havoc on the global economy and shifted money to less-risky assets.
The latest losses extended a slide in stocks that has wiped out the solid gains the major indexes had posted early this year.
