Dow plunges 1,800 points at open on coronavirus fears and drop in oil prices, intensifying fears of a global recession

“Every major stock market is getting hammered as oil prices plunge due to a price war following the breakdown of Saudi Arabia’s oil-cutting alliance with Russia over the weekend,” Nigel Green, chief executive and founder of financial consultancy deVere Group, said in a note.

The latest melt down in the energy market raises the possibility of stocks falling into bear market, or a fall of 20% from a recent peak, according to Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities. Saudi Arabia's decision came after OPEC failed to strike a deal with its allies on a cut to oil production. An agreement would have contained the plunge in the price of crude caused by the virus outbreak’s disruption to world business, analysts say.

Possibly Global recession after weeks of Media hysteria, fear mongering about the coronavirus and now Russia and Saudi Oil feud.... this is clearly Trumps fault.

Circuit breaker: No, not the switch you flip in your house. They're measures the NYSE and others use to halt trading and prevent panic selling when there are massive declines during normal trading hours. One was already used today, and two more are still available.

And the media giggles with glee.
