GRAPHIC-Markets snapshot: Oil wreck, bear stocks, rouble trouble

Mon, 09th Mar 2020 11:22

(Adds graphic, updates prices)

By Thyagaraju Adinarayan and Ritvik Carvalho

LONDON, March 9 (Reuters) - A massive oil price collapse
overnight and the fast-spreading coronavirus has led to wild
price swings across global financial markets on Monday, with
some moves as great as 25%.

Those moves came as Saudi Arabia launched a price war with
Russia, sending investors already panicked by the coronavirus
fleeing for safety.

When was the last time oil giants such as BP and
Shell shed one-fourth of their value? Never.

The list below highlights some of the biggest price moves
and their significance:

** Brent crude fell as much as 31.4%, the biggest
daily drop since the first Gulf War

** The yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries fell
further to a record low of 0.4624%, having halved in just three
sessions

** The slump in yield signals another round of big rate cuts
by global central banks

** The 10-year Bund yield fell to a record low of -0.863%

** U.S. stock futures plunged 5% to hit their daily down
limit and halt trading

** London's FTSE 100 shed 8.4% a few minutes after
the open in its worst single-day drop since the financial crisis

** London-listed Shell plunged 23% and BP 29% in their
worst-ever intraday rout

** The Russian rouble is down over 8%, on track for its
worst drop since December 2014, also when oil prices plunged

** The dollar extended its slide in Asia to as low as 102.60
yen, depths not seen since late 2016

** Emerging-market stocks dropped over 4% and the
world's biggest listed entity, Saudi Aramco, traded
below its IPO price for the first time
