On Monday, the Dow nose-dived almost 1,100 points in the first six minutes, the most dramatic point drop ever in a trading day. It roared almost all the way back — then sank again. It finished down 588 points, or 3.6 percent, at 15,871.
Asian markets plunged again on Tuesday. The main stock index in Shanghai fell more than 7 percent and has now lost more than 40 percent of its value in a two-month crash. Stocks in Japan lost 4 percent.
