The Dow industrials fell more than 500 points and bond yields tumbled as the U.S.-China trade battle fueled investors' flight to safety

Stocks declined Wednesday after government-bond yields tumbled, a flight to safety prompted by investors’ fears about global growth and the U.S.-China trade and currency battle.

The S&P 500 fell 0.8%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 300 points, or 1.2%. The Nasdaq Composite fell about 1% shortly after the opening bell. The move down comes a day after stocks rebounded slightly to break a streak of declines amid trade tensions.

Fall of bond yield along with stock prices and interest rates,further rate cut competition along with global political discontent/violences may imply falling growth rate and scramble for maximising one's share out of declining global output/ incomes and possibly global recession?

Another twist!

keithboykin So Trump is doing a great job, eh WSJ Editors?

500 points is nothing compared to gains over past two years. China needs to be put into their financial place in the world. US has subsidized for too long.

And so, it begins.

Be greedy when others are fearful.

U.S. labels China a 'currency manipulator' as stocks fall and trade war worsensChina allowed its currency to weaken and said it was halting new American farm purchases, sending U.S. stocks in a tailspin and heightening risks of a global economic downturn. Looks as if this bromance just went full stop. The President is in way over his head. Putting the best interests of the country first, the smart thing for Trump to do is to call Biden to the White House for advice and guidance. Nobody knows the China relations, history and sensitivities better than he does. Place all currencies on gold (or fixed standard) currency.
