The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 107 points as economic instability continued to rack emerging markets across the globe. On Monday, South Africa announced that the nation's gross domestic product (GDP) had contracted by 0.7%, indicating that the African nation may be on the verge of a recession.

South Africa's economic woes are the latest financial crisis to threaten emerging market currencies - the Mexican peso, Indonesian rupiah, Turkish lira, and Argentine peso all fell on concerns about global government debt. The contagion appears to be spreading in the wake of sharp currency declines in Argentina and Turkey. However, this is not a sign that investors should throw in the towel quite yet...

Three Stocks to Watch Today: GE, AMZN, JD

  • General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE) shares are under pressure after the stock received a downgrade from Swiss bank UBS Group AG (NYSE: UBS). The investment bank cut its price target for GE from $16 to $13. The bank cited ongoing struggles at GE's power division as it continues to lose market share.
  • Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) stock is on pace to overtake Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) after it became the second company to achieve a $1 trillion market capitalization. The stock price has now doubled in a year thanks to its strong growth in retail sales and cloud computing. Apple needed 38 years to achieve the $1 trillion market cap while Amazon needed just 21 years. With that said, both AMZN and AAPL now comprise 8% of the entire S&P 500 market cap.
  • Shares in JD.com Inc. (Nasdaq: JD) fell more than 5% in pre-market hours. Shares are on the decline after police said that its billionaire founder was arrested last week on charges of sexual assault.
  • Look for additional earnings reports from Ctrip.com International Ltd. (Nasdaq: CTRP), Guidewire Software Inc. (Nasdaq: GWRE), Ollie's Bargain Outlet Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: OLLI), Vera Bradley Inc. (NYSE: VRA), and Verint Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: VRNT)
