The morning after a wild Wall Street session driven by mounting coronavirus concerns that saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average lose more than 2,300 points before finishing just 1,300 lower, turned out to lead to another drop for US stock futures at Thursday’s open, but it soon climbed to be just on the higher side of flat. Starting Monday, the New York Stock Exchange will temporarily close its trading floor and move fully to electronic trading after two people tested positive for the coronavirus. According to data from Johns Hopkins University, US coronavirus cases spiked more than 40% in 24 hours, topping 9,400 with 150 deaths.
