(Reuters) – Wall Street’s main indexes fell on Friday as the coronavirus abruptly ended a record U.S. job growth streak of 113 months and amped up fears of a deep economic slow down.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI fell 357.99 points, or 1.67%, to end at 21,055.45 point, the S&P 500 .SPX lost 38.34 points, or 1.52%, to 2,488.56 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC dropped 114.23 points, or 1.53%, to 7,373.08.
