Global stock markets fell sharply again Thursday after Wall Street endured its worst day of the year as recession fears in the U.S. and around the world escalated.
Investors across financial assets have been gripped by developments in the U.S. bond market. On Wednesday they focused on the fact the yield, or interest rate, on the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond briefly dropped below the two-year Treasury’s yield for the first time since 2007.
Traders clearly took fright at that development, with the Dow Jones industrial average dropping 800 points, or 3.1%, on Wednesday — its worst performance of 2019.“The countdown to a recession has just started,” said Hussein Sayed, Chief Market Strategist at FXTM. Earlier in Asia, the Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.2% to 2,815.80 while Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 lost 1.2% to 20,405.65. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng closed up 0.8% at 25,495.46. Australia’s S&P-ASX 200 fell 2.8% to 6,408.10.
