- Wall Street tumbled in a volatile session on Tuesday after the U.S. Federal Reserve surprised investors with a half percentage-point cut in interest rates, amplifying fears about the magnitude of the coronavirus’ impact on the economy.
Stocks had initially jumped more than 1%, but then dropped as traders worried whether pumping more money into financial markets would address the central problem - a drop in business activity as workers and consumers stay home. The 10-year Treasury yield fell below 1% for the first time ever as nervous investors moved money out of the stock market.

The koolaid was so sweet, it was undrinkable
Desperation reeks.
Good times. Image how much America will borrow when recession hits. The virus 🦠 is going to get 🇺🇸 there faster. Trump is going to lose his mind as he’s tagged his legacy to the stock market.

Every one is selling and no one is willing borrow to buy into the stock exchange. It’s a market correction to account for all the borrowed money to play the stocks.
That didn't work now try tax cut to the rich
I feel this move is premature. The Fed could have clearly waited for a couple of weeks to make this move. The only thing this suggests is there are a lot of unreported coronavirus cases within the United States.
Just saying
That ain't gonna fix shit and that's why the market tumbled. They got nothing.
