Stocks plunge as Fed's emergency rate cut fails to calm panic
Wayne Cole
4 MIN READ
SYDNEY (Reuters) - Stock markets and the dollar fell heavily on Monday, after emergency rate cuts in the United States and New Zealand failed to allay fears about the coronavirus economic shock.
U.S. stock futures hit their downlimit before daybreak in Singapore. The dollar sank more than 2% against the yen.
Nikkei futures fell 6%. Australias benchmark stock index fell 7% in the first quarter-hour of trade. U.S. crude fell 5% to under $30 per barrel.
The U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 100 basis points on Sunday to a target range of 0% to 0.25%. It said it would expand its balance sheet by at least $700 billion in coming weeks.
(The) market is wondering what the Fed knows that the rest of us dont, said Phil Orlando, chief equity market strategist at Federated Hermes in New York.

(11,086 posts)I sold everything last Tuesday. Lucked out that it was the day of that dead cat bounce. I hope to get a good deal and buy back in sometime in the future. My wife wants to wait until after the election.

not around the next couple of days (poll worker tomorrow) but will be thinking of you all. For those who don't know, I used to run this kind of thread for DU 2 back in the day and it draws me back in times of upset. Hold on---even if you are invested in the market, unless you need the money in the next 3 years or so, you will probably be ok in the long run (talk to your financial expert, however--don't accept anything ANYTHING you read online by some random person without getting expert back-upThat way lies madness!)
