‘I don’t think we’ve made the lows yet, but it is going to be incredibly choppy.’


— Mohamed El-Erian

That’s economist Mohamed El-Erian, warning investors in a CNBC interview that the stock market’s biggest one-day plunge since 2008 on Monday probably didn’t establish a bottom. El-Erian, chief economic adviser to Allianz, had warned investors early last month that the global coronavirus outbreak could end the market’s longstanding “buy-the-dip” dynamic.

U.S stocks opened with strong gains Tuesday but mostly eliminated the advance by late morning. Bulls were looking for a bounce back from a drop a day earlier that saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA,
+1.12%

end more than 2,000 points lower, with both the Dow, S&P 500
SPX,
+1.31%

and Nasdaq Composite
COMP,
+1.63%

all plunging more than 7% for the biggest one-day percentage decline since 2008.
