NEW YORK, N.Y. — The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 785 points and bond prices surged after an emergency interest-rate cut by the Federal Reserve failed to reassure markets racked by worries that a fast-spreading virus outbreak could lead to a recession.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note dropped below 1% for the first time. The Dow industrials lost 2.9% to 25,917.
It had surged 5% a day earlier on hopes for a broader set of stimulus measures.
The S&P 500 index fell 2.8% and is now 11% below the record high it set two weeks ago. The Nasdaq fell 3%.
