(vo) my name is bryan.
looks to be the dow down around 390. the nasdaq down around 146. as you mentioned the dow and nasdaq both briefly touching correction territory throughout the day and it s volatile trade. we started the day off with a steep drop. bounced back a bit during the day. then it touched session lows again. concerns here really over china and the chinese economy suffering and the government continuing to devalue their currency there, the yuan. when we hit lows of the day it was on a reuters report the yuan would drop further, potential 10% to 15% drop. that s something to continue watching. back over to you. wikate rogers from cnbc. josh is with us as well. josh, why are we hearing this phrase, increasingly, and there s been various perm utations of this throughout history when china sneezes, wall street could catch a cold? for a couple of reasons. china is the u.s. third largest
close for the day. it happened twice in one week. i think what the chinese are learning the government can t decide whether stock prices are going to fall and how much. they re suspending that rule because it s making people in china more nervous. they re worried the market s going to close, they won t be able to get money out later so they are to close now. in the u.s. we have a circuit breaker, about you it only shuts done the market if it falls 20%. that only happened in 1997. people in reacting to things we know about. if you close the market for a day, it s going to open up the next day and people will start selling again. josh, thanks. people up late last night on the east coast got to see, in real-time, what was happening on the chinese exchange and knew this day would be coming for wall street. a contributor at forbes.com,
really look at some of the fundamental problems and the inability of the chinese leadership to really implement their type of reform we wanted. we thought they could do it. but obviously, they can t. gordon, thanks. thanks to all contributors. back to the phrase as we look at closing number, down 392.41. remembering, there are fluctuations after the market close. when china sneezes, wall street catches a cold. on that note, back into the studio, kate snow. brian, thanks so much. we ll turn to politics now and begin in burlington, vermont, and trump rolls into town just about three hours from now. crowds are already lined up. outside the flynn theater in burlington to see him. the trump campaign issued 20,000 tickets for tonight s event, did is spite the fact the venue holds 1,400 people. in line a mix of trump supporters, bernie sanders supporters and some who tell us they re undecided. he s make not a politician,
order. government officials are free to disagree with the law but not disobey it. the supreme court has spoken and alabama must follow the law. some probate judges say they are obeying what justice moore has done and won t give out licenses but others will ignore it. so the immediate effect is minimal, i suspect this won t last long. pete williams, watching that for us, thanks. chinese stock plunge trigging a sell-off in the states. wall street next, where the dow stands. when this could all level out. woman: it s been a journey to get where i am. and i didn t get here alone. there were people who listened along the way. people who gave me options. kept me on track. and through it all, my retirement never got left behind. so today, i m prepared for anything we may want tomorrow to be.
