Affected assets and topics
Why it matters
The S&P 500 continues its decline, with a 2.3% drop in morning trading, putting it on track for its largest daily decline since October 10. The market is still far from triggering the NYSE's circuit breakers, which would halt trading for 15 minutes. The index would need to fall 13% before 3:25 p.m. ET to trigger a level two circuit breaker.
