March 12, 2020: Trading on Wall Street was halted just moments into Thursday's session after US stocks plunged further on the deepening economic pain from the coronavirus.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 7.2 percent to 21,856.91, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index tumbled 7.0 percent to 7,393.25.
