Stocks Deep in Red, Set for Another Wild End to Trading

Mar 06, 2020

Stocks moved close to their lows of the day in late trading Friday with investors likely nervous about staying long into a weekend that will be packed with Covid-19 headlines.

But this week has shown us that the last hour of trading can bring anything and we could be looking at deeper selling into the end or a stunning reversal by the closing bell.

The S&P 500 lost 3.8% and the Nasdaq Composite sank 3.8%. The Dow fell 3%, or 792 points.

As stocks fell, bonds rallied, pushing yields to historic lows again. The benchmark 10-Year Treasury yield stood around 0.7%. It slipped below that level for the first time ever earlier.
