By 9:35 AM ET (1335 GMT), the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 516 points or 2.2% at 23,161 points. The S&P 500 was down 1.9% and the Nasdaq Composite was down 1.3%. All three had fallen heavily at the start of the week as crude oil prices had turned negative due to crushing oversupply in the spot market.
