The Dow Jones Industrial Average started the day more than 700 points in the red after new uncertainty emerged over Washington's handling of the coronavirus.

The outbreak has raised new concerns about rising corporate debt, lack of ammunition from central banks, and the possibility that the bull market will finally end in 2020.

Before we get into this story and more, here are the numbers from Tuesday for the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq:

Index Previous Close Point Change Percentage Change
Dow Jones 25,018.16 +1,167.14 +4.9%
S&P 500 2,882.23 +135.67 +4.9%
Nasdaq 8,344.25 +393.57 +4.9%

Now here's a closer look at today's most important market events and stocks. We'll also discuss the stories that slipped under the radar of the mainstream financial press on Wednesday.

  • Shares of JetBlue Airways Corp. (NASDAQ: JBLU) were off nearly 4% after its CEO said that demand for flights has now fallen under the levels seen after 9/11. In an interview with CNBC, Robin Jays said that the company expects that things will get worse and doesn't anticipate that bookings will stabilize in the near future. Other airlines continue to furlough workers, cut flights, and raise concerns about forward-looking guidance.
  • Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS) is making headlines this morning. The Wall Street firm warned that the ongoing coronavirus outbreak mixed with other negative economic metrics could fuel the end of the stock market's incredible bull run.

  • Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) and AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) are partnering to provide 5G services to business customers.
