NEW YORK -- U.S. stocks were hit with their worst one-day loss since the 2008 financial crisis on Monday, with the Dow diving over 2,000 points as crashing oil prices added to global fears over the new coronavirus.
The rapid sell-off triggered a market "circuit breaker" minutes after the opening, halting trading for 15 minutes after a 7.6% decline in the S&P 500.
