People walk outside the New York Stock Exchange on Oct. 26, 2020, in New York.Wall Street fell again on Wednesday, as Europe considered additional lockdowns and U.S. cities such as Chicago and Newark, New Jersey, announced a new round of restrictive measures to combat the spread of the coronavirus.

Market participants are focused on the extent to which the uptick in coronavirus cases could stall any economic recovery. Officials in Illinois said Tuesday they would extend restrictions in Chicago to include the suspension of indoor dining and a size limit on gatherings. In Europe, German Chancellor Angela Merkel is in discussions to consider closing restaurants and bars. French President Emmanuel Macron is set to give a televised address on Wednesday night to announce additional measures to the curfews that were put in place last week. The moves would follow similar restrictions implemented over the past few weeks in Italy and Spain.

Seven months into the pandemic, companies are still attempting to right-size their workforce. Boeing reported its fourth straight quarterly loss Wednesday morning and announced thousands more job cuts. The ailing aircraft manufacturer said it would be cutting a further 7 percent of its workforce, with a goal of reducing its total headcount by 30,000 to 130,000 by the end of next year.
