The Dow and the broader US stock market are tumbling once again Wednesday as Wall Street investors fear the US-China trade war will inflict broad damage on the global economy.

After a one-day respite, panic has reignited over the trade war. Investors are pulling money out of stocksand buying up US bonds and gold as safe havens.
Economists at Rabobank are projecting a shallow global recession because the trade war is hurting financial markets, consumer confidence and the global economy. Rabobank reduced its worldwide growth projections below 3% on Wednesday.

The 10-year US government bond yield tumbled near a three-year low of 1.6181%. Bonds and yields move in opposite directions.
