ASX200 down 24 per cent, sheds $500 billion in first quarter of 2020 | LucyBattersby Scutty

"While it is too early to say if the relentless efforts from central banks and governments to support the global economy would be enough to cushion economic recession and support stock markets, underperformance of stock markets rarely lasts for a long time."

Volatility continues to dominate stock markets, with large swings and trading ranges becoming normalised on the ASX. Blue chip stocks like Cochlear dropped by $13 in just a few minutes on Monday afternoon, while the rest of the market was on track to have the best session in history, up 7 per cent.

Tuesday's biggest swings included a gain of 25.5 per cent in Credit Corp, 23.3 per cent in EML Payments, and 19.3 per cent in G8 Education.

PM gives workers $1500 a fortnight paymentThe federal government will commit $130 billion in the next six months to support workers. 9News Sole traders are also workers. This needs greater clarification.

I was 3 months into my dream job and then gone because of the virus, no lifeline for me :-(
