This past week has been the worst week for the U.S. broad markets since the financial crisis. With supply chain concerns across the globe and a general slowdown in business, there was massive selling over the course of the week. The fundamental threat of the COVID-19 is very real for American businesses, and it is vastly overtaking other market fundamentals sending everything lower.
Although earnings and other fundamentals are taking a backseat in the markets right now, they will be an important measure when the markets exit this scare.
