Dow falls into bear market, ASX to dive as virus panic grips investors

Stocks tumbled Wednesday as fears about the economic damage from the coronavirus outbreak intensified and investors questioned whether any economic response from Washington will be effective - when and if they see one.

With Wall Street already on edge about the economic damage coming from the virus outbreak, stocks dove even lower Wednesday after global health officials declared the outbreak a pandemic. The Bank of England became the latest big central bank on Wednesday to make an emergency interest-rate cut in hopes of blunting the economic pain caused by the virus, which economists call the global economy's biggest threat.The stakes are rising as the World Health Organisation cited "alarming levels of inaction" by governments in corralling the virus when it made its pandemic declaration.

The speed of the market's declines and the degree of its swings the last few weeks have been breathtaking.

But the media were trumpeting a massive rebound only days ago I can’t think of anything better than stocks being back at 2016 levels. This central bank produced sh*t show is better than any Netflix drama.
