Turning to the economy, americans saw a big chunk of their stock market savings disappear yesterday over fears of an economic recession. The dowjones industrial average fell 800 points. Thats the biggest drop of the year. More than 3 . But the dow did gain some ground when it opened this morning. Don, good morning. What has investors so nervous . Reporter good morning. It is something called an inverted yield curve and the bond market hasnt seen this since before the Great Recession in 2007. It basically indicates that investors are losing confidence in the economy. While that might sound scary, it might also present some opportunities for consumers. The closing bell on wall street was a sour note for investors wednesday as a key indicator in the bond market signaled the recession could be on its way. Cbs News Business analyst jill slessingeringer. Investors are telling us they are quite worried about the future, worried about what stocks will do, what the economy will do. Reporter for the first time in more than a decade the yields for the tenyear bond dipped below the yield for the twoyear bond. That means investors are more willing to bet on the shortterm economy than the outlook for the long term. So an inverted yield curve can be a signal that things will slow down in the future and has often been a sign of recession. The fed moved in my opinion far too early and fa too severely. Reporter President Trump has been quick to blame the Federal Reserve actions on Interest Rates tweeting crazy inverted yield curve. We should easily be reaping big rewards and gains but the fed is holding us back. Analysts point to other factors as well including the u. S. Trade war with china and economic slowdowns in germany, france, and the uk. Now the question is how quickly will the Federal Reserve act to stave off further slowdowns or when the president and the administration will sit down with china and remove this cloud of uncertainty. Reporter a recession is by no means inevitable and if one does happen it could take 18 to 24 months to develop. There is a Silver Lining in this. Because of this instability, the cost of longterm borrowing is going down which might mean it is a good time to buy a house or, anthony, that new corvette. How did you know, don, i was in the market for a new corvette . Why thanks. Reporter who isnt . Good point. All right, don. Russian Airline Pilots averted a disaster this morning outside moscow. They landed their jet in a corn field after a bird strike when it took off. Incredibly, no one was killed. Passengers were seen near the field after the crash landing. Holly williams is tracking this story from london. The video is incredibly scary. Reporter thats right. Good morning. Well, the passengers onboard the air bus 320 must have seen their lives flash before their eyes. The video of the plane heading toward the ground is pretty distressing to watch. You can hear the engines laboring apparently losing power. And then screams from the passengers as they hit the ground. The planes landing gear was reportedly still up so no wheels on the ground. But miraculously, the pilot managed to land in a corn field just outside moscow airport. All 226 passengers and seven crew members survived. 23 people have been hospitalized. One reportedly with serious injuries. The problems started when the plane collided with a flock of gulls according to the russian air agency. Apparently some of the birds were sucked into its engines, causing both of them to fail. Now, the pilot, who presumably will now become something of a Sully Sullenberger character in russia is already being lauded as a hero as well as handsome by one very grateful passenger. He apparently graduated from Aviation School with honors. Gayle . You never go wrong when youre compared to Sully Sullenberger. Handsome never hurts either. Thank you very much, holly. House Republican Leaders are condemning comments again from one of their own this morning. Iowa congressman steve king. Speaking before a conservative group in his state yesterday he defended his call for a ban on all abortions. He asked how many humans would be on earth today if it were not for those conceived through rape and incest. What if they went back through all the family trees and just pulled those people out that were products of rape and incest . Would there be any population of the world left if we did that . Ed okeefe is on capitol hill. What are republicans saying about his comments this time . I have to say it is pretty jaw dropping. Reporter yeah, well, gayle, House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy is criticizing the comments and so are other party leaders. This isnt the first time theyve had to do so. King has represented northwest iowa in Congress Since at least 2003 and long has been considered the most antiimmigrant lawmaker in congress. He made the comments about abortion wednesday while defending an antiabortion bill he has written that would not allow exceptions for rape or incest. Earlier this year Republican Leadership stripped king of Committee Assignments after the New York Times quoted him as saying, white nationalist, white supremacist, western civilization, how did that language become offensive . King says he was misquoted. Congressman Steve Scalise the number two House Republican said in a statement kings comments on rape and incest are wrong and offensive and underscore why we removed him from his committees. And the Iowa Republican party called kings comments outrageous and not reflective of the partys views. But king is still a member of congress and said yesterday he has no plans to step down. It would take a vote of twothirds of his fellow members of congress to expel him from the house but there are no plans to do that. Tony . All right. Thank you very much. Well be following it.
