P 500 down more than 20 per cent from its record, amid fears that a recession is more likely given how unshakeable inflation has become.P 500 was 2.7 per cent lower in the first trading after investors had the weekend to reflect about a stunning report that showed inflation is getting worse, not better as some had hoped. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 625 points, or 2 per cent, at 30,767, as of 9.40am Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 3 per cent lower.

The two-year Treasury yield shot to 3.20 per cent from 3.06 per cent late Friday, its second straight major move higher. It’s more than quadrupled this year and touched its highest level since 2008.
The pain was worldwide as investors braced for more aggressive moves from a coterie of central banks.
