The spread of the epidemic was faster than expected, which once again caused global investor panic to rise again. The VIX index, which reflects investor panic, soared by nearly 20% to 25.78.

In order to avoid risks, investors put their funds into defensive assets such as bonds. The yields on the 2-year and 10-year Treasury bonds of the United States both fell, and the stock market naturally fell.

U.S. stocks continued the previous day's decline, with all three major indexes opening lower.


[05:00] The Dow Jones Index closed at 34,932 points, down 433 points or 1.23%; S&P 500 Index closed at 4,568 points, down 52 points or 1.14%; Nasdaq Index closed at 14,980 points, down 188 points or 1.24 %.



[03:18] The decline has narrowed slightly. The Dow recently reported 34881 points, down 483 points, the S&P latest reported 4561 points, down 58 points, and the Nasdaq reported 14970 points, down 199 points.
