There are a lot of factors at work that affect financial markets, including a rapidly spreading virus. On Tuesday, the Dow fell more than 1,000 points, down more than 3.5 percent. It was the worst day for the Dow in two years. And it wasn’t only the Dow. All major stock indexes? were down more than 3 percent.
