Markets rally as emergency declared on coronavirus
Wall Street surged after President Trump declared a national emergency for the coronavirus. The Dow jumped about 2,000 points in a dramatic late rally, posting the biggest point gain ever and the strongest percentage gain since 2008. All major indexes rose, but the week ended with steep losses as uncertainty remained about health and economic damage. Investors watched for a federal relief package including sick pay and free testing as talks continued between the White House and Congress.
