US markets' longest bull run ends amid coronavirus pandemic

Описание: The longest bull run on US markets has ended after stocks plunged due to coronavirus fears rattling investors.

The 11-year stretch of rising share prices dated back to the global financial crisis.

The Dow Jones closed down six per cent as economic relief failed to calm investors.

The market shed 20 per cent from its most recent peak, meaning it was now in bear market territory.
