Global stocks and oil prices have tumbled after South Africa found a fast-spreading coronavirus variant and the European Union proposed suspending air travel from southern Africa.

Deirdre Bolton and Diane Swonk join"This Week’" to break down inflation.NEW YORK -- Stocks fell sharply Friday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down more than 1,000 points, as a newvariant from South Africa appeared to be spreading across the globe. It added to investor uncertainty about potentially reversing months of progress at getting the COVID-19 pandemic under control.

There have been other variants of the coronavirus before — the delta variant devastated much of the U.S. throughout the summer — and investors, public officials and the general public are jittery about any new variant that's spreading. It's been nearly two years since COVID-19 emerged, which has killed more than 5 million people around the globe.

Fearful of more lockdowns and travel bans, investors moved money into companies that largely benefited from previous waves, like Zoom Communications for meetings or Peloton for at-home exercise equipment. Peloton shares were up 5% while Zoom was up roughly 7%.
