View this post on Instagram While efforts to contain the COVID-19 pandemic forced the U.S. to a virtual standstill in a matter of days, it can start work again just as rapidly, former New York Stock Exchange CEO Dick Grasso said. "There is a morning coming," Grasso, whose tenure included an exchange shutdown after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, told Fox Business' @MariaBartiromo. "Our enemy today is not al-Qaida or someone carrying an AK-47, it is a virus. But we have the best scientists in the world, the best medical facilities in the world. We will defeat it." Grasso, who said during a coronavirus-related drop in late February that slides in financial markets give investors a chance to beef up their holdings, doesn't believe a temporary halt in floor trading at the New York Stock Exchange will last forever. The exchange is switching to electronic trades only as of Monday after a floor worker and exchange member tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by a new coronavirus that has killed thousands of people worldwide.

View this post on Instagram U.S. equity markets battled back from steep losses early Thursday to close with modest gains losing some steam in the final minutes of trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 189 points reversing a drop of 721 points, or 3.6 percent, shortly after the open. The S&P 500 also posted modest gains. Boeing remained a drag closing down 4 percent on reports the airplane maker is considering cutting the dividend. The Nasdaq composite turned in a stronger rally rising over 2 percent as investors gravitated back into big tech. Amazon rose as did Uber after CEO Dara Khosrowshahi assured investors the ride-sharing company has plenty of cash to get through this downturn.A post shared by Fox Business (@foxbusiness) on Mar 19, 2020 at 1:15pm PDT

View this post on Instagram From @scottwalker: On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, both of my sons were eating breakfast before heading to their elementary school when my wife called from work. She told me to go to the living room and turn on the television. To my disbelief, I watched images of another plane crashing into the South Tower of the World Trade Center. Later, as our carpool headed to work, we listened in disbelief as they reported that the twin towers were falling to the ground. At first, we thought it was a mistake. It hardly seemed possible to imagine two buildings so large crumbling to the ground. • Full story on our website #wuhanvirus #coronavirus #coronavirusoutbreak #coronavirusupdate #covid_19 #covıd19 #opinion #commentary #washingtontimes #trumpA post shared by The Washington Times (@washtimes) on Mar 19, 2020 at 10:58am PDT

View this post on Instagram J.P. Morgan is calling for a sharper U.S. economic contraction in the second quarter, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, than the country experienced during the worst of the 2008 financial crisis. The firm sees the U.S. economy shrinking by 5.3 percent from January through March and 14 percent during the following three months. By comparison, the U.S. economy contracted by 7.2 percent during the fourth quarter of 2008, its worst of the global financial crisis, according to the St. Louis Fed. Still, a sharp snap back to 6 percent growth in the third quarter of this year and 2.3 percent in the fourth leaves the long-term outlook less dire than both the worst year of the financial crisis and the earliest years for which data is available on the Great Depression. For all of 2020, J.P. Morgan sees an economic contraction of 1.9 percent, compared with a slump of 2.5 percent in 2009 and a drop of 8.5 percent in 1930, the year after the 1929 stock market crash, when the country was reeling from a drought and spiking unemployment.A post shared by Fox Business (@foxbusiness) on Mar 19, 2020 at 8:00am PDT
