How major US stock indexes fared Friday

Stocks fell sharply on Wall Street Friday as investors feared that a virus outbreak that originated in China will dent the global economy.

Technology companies, which do a lot of business with China, led the losses. Airlines fell after Delta and American suspended flights to and from China. The sell-off erased the S&P 500’s gains for January and gave the benchmark index its biggest weekly loss since August.
