Chinese shares plunge on coronavirus fears as markets return from Lunar New Year break

On Feb 3, a viral share dumping plagued stock markets in mainland China, as they returned from an extended Chinese New Year break. As much as $420 billion was wiped off China's benchmark index due to fears of the impact the novel coronavirus could have on the economy. Hundreds of stocks maxed out the 10% limit in daily trade, even as the Chinese regulator imposed restricted share sell-offs. The Shanghai Composite plunged nearly 8% -- its worst day in more than four years.

Shenzhen took an even deeper dive
