The closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange Monday afternoon was the only relief for what was a total market rout.
All three major U.S. indices saw massive losses. The blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average was down more than a 1,000 points - about 2.6%. The broad market S and P closed out the day 160 points down... that's 3%. The tech heavy Nasdaq Composite, already in a correction, shed more than 570 points.
Joining us with more is Dr. Anoop Rai, professor of finance at Hofstra University.
Here are the other major headlines from Monday's show:
Tracking Tropical Storm Debby
Tropical Storm Debby as already left a mark, tearing through the southeast with torrential rain and devastating floods across Florida and Georgia.
It made landfall as a Category 1 Monday morning in the big bend of Florida's Gulf Coast, but has since downgraded to a tropical storm, but that doesn't mean it is any less catastrophic.
The powerful storm is already responsible for at least four deaths, including a 14-year-old boy.
ABC's Somara Theodore is tracking it all in Gainesville.

On the short list: Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Harris could announce her decision any time between now and Tuesday night, when she kicks off a nationwide with her VP pick in Philadelphia.
