The stock market plunged on Tuesday for the second day in a row, bringing the two-day decline in the Dow to more than 1,800 points with a 6.3% hit for the S&P 500 this week.
Tuesday closing marks:
- S&P 500: -3.03% or -97.59 points to 3,128.30
- Dow: -3.15% or -879.64 points to 27,081.16

? Among the factors being blamed for the two-day nosedive in equities are fears of a coronavirus pandemic and socialist Bernie Sanders' decisive Nevada caucus win over the weekend.
