Stock market news live: Stocks plunge, trigger circuit breaker after Fed unveils emergency stimulus

Markets are in for another rollercoaster week, as policymakers continue to ramp up their responses to the global coronavirus outbreak.

Federal Reserve rate cutStock futures opened sharply lower Sunday evening, even after the Federal Reserve launched a massive monetary stimulus program — including cutting rates to effectively zero and unveiling plans for large-scale asset purchases. The Fed also unleashed a further set of tools to address economic impacts arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, announcing a quantitative easing program that would include purchases of $700 billion in assets, comprising $500 billion worth of treasuries and $200 billion in agency-backed mortgage securities.

Story continuesIn Congress, the House of Representatives passed a bipartisan bill to help provide further support in response to the coronavirus. The legislative package, which passed with a vote of 363-40, broadens access to free testing, expands sick leave benefits and helps provides food aid for vulnerable populations, including children whose schools have closed due to the coronavirus.At the state level, the response has escalated with each passing day.

Goldman Sachs sees potential for the S&P 500 to drop to 2,000, down 41% from the all-time high, before rebounding to end 2020 at 3,200 as the impact of the coronavirus roils markets.
