NYダウ、1175ドル安 リーマン・ショック抜く過去最大の下げ幅

NYダウ、1175ドル安 リーマン・ショック抜く過去最大の下げ幅
ダウ平均が過去最大の下げ幅となった2月5日のニューヨーク証券取引所

2月5日のニューヨーク株式市場のダウ工業株30種平均は大幅続落し、前週末比1175.21ドル安の2万4345.75ドルで取引を終えた。共同通信などが報じた。

1日の下げ幅としてはリーマン・ショックを受け世界的に景気が悪化した2008年9月29日の777ドルを抜いて、過去最大となった。

NHKニュースによると、ニューヨーク株式市場は、アメリカの好調な企業業績やトランプ政権の税制改革への期待などを背景に先月までほぼ一本調子で値上がりしてきた。しかし、1月30日にアメリカの長期金利が上昇したことをきっかけに、2営業日続けての大幅な値下がりになった。

同ニュースによると、市場関係者は「ダウ平均株価は年初から急ペースで値上がりし高値への警戒感が出ていた中で大きく値下がりしたため加速度的に売り注文が膨らんだ。アメリカ経済自体は好調で企業業績も底堅いが、2営業日続けて株価が大きく下落したため市場ではいつ下げ止まるか不安に包まれている」と話しているという。

‘Queer Eye’ Returns, ‘Drag Race’ Sneak Peek, Winter Olympics, ‘Celeb Big Brother’ and More TV This Week

‘Queer Eye’ Returns, ‘Drag Race’ Sneak Peek, Winter Olympics, ‘Celeb Big Brother’ and More TV This Week

Check out our weekly guide to TV this week, and make sure you’re catching the big premieres, crucial episodes and the stuff you won’t admit you watch when no one’s looking.

It’s been more than a decade since the original Fab Five of TV first attempted to spread their gay magic to the straight masses. Now, a new gaggle of gifted gays are ready to lend their queer eyes to today’s straight guys. The Netflix reboot of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy hits the streaming service Wednesday.

What do Ross Mathews, Sugar Ray’s Mark McGrath and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Brandi Glanville have in common? They’re all moving in with Omarosa. Catch the motley crew on the first stateside season of Celebrity Big Brother Wednesday at 8 p.m. Eastern on CBS.

In last week’s episode of The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, killer Andrew Cunanan (Darren Criss) tells a victim that he’s already murdered two people before killing him. Tune in Wednesday at 10 p.m. Eastern on FX to see their stories.

Drag may not be a contact sport, that don’t mean there won’t be bad blood. The queens are still smarting following last week’s elimination on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, Thursday at 8 p.m. Eastern on VH1. Check out the first few minutes of this week’s episode above.

Just because the summer games show a little more skin doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of reasons to tune in to the Winter Olympics. Take in all the pomp and pageantry Friday at 8 p.m. Eastern on NBC with the 2018 Winter Olympics opening ceremonies (and bring on the beefy bobsledders).

What are you watching this week on TV?

Dow Jones Plunge, Eagles White House Boycott, Spice Girls, Chicago, Jennifer Lawrence, Sam Smith: HOT LINKS
Dana Scully

DOW JONES PLUNGE. Dow drops 1,178 points, the largest point drop in history.

TORONTO. Vigil held for victims of alleged serial killer.

SUPER BOWL CHAMPS. Some Eagles planning to boycott White House visit: “Wide receiver Torrey Smith, defensive end Chris Long, and safety Malcolm Jenkins are among the players planing to boycott visiting President Donald J. Trump.”

THE SUPER BOWL ADS. A wrap-up from Dlisted.

CHICAGO. Knife-wielding robber targets two men after meeting them on Grindr: “The attacks happened at two apartments, one in the Ravenswood neighborhood and the other in the Buena Park neighborhood, according to Chicago police. Chicago police said a man’s finger was cut off during an argument in the city’s Buena Park neighborhood.”

ALL SPICE. The Spice Girls came together for a new photo.

NORTH CAROLINA. “Architect of HB2” gets primary challenger: ‘Sen. Dan Bishop, the man called the “Architect of HB2,” for crafting and sponsoring the anti-LGBTQ law that nulified non-discrimination ordinances in North Carolina, will face a primary challenger. Beth Monaghan is running against him explicitly in opposition to House Bill 2, and its replacement, the so-called repeal law House Bill 142, that maintains that anti-LGBTQ status quo in place. Cities and municipalities still have to run non-discrimination ordinances and bathroom and locker room policies past the state’s Republican controlled General Assembly.’

MONTANA. Billings church hit with anti-gay graffiti, again: “That is a sign of some seriously dark stuff,” she said. “We’re going to pray for those people.”

TOLEDO. Anti-LGBTQ Christian group buys gay nightclub to use as its house of worship: “Bretz nightclub, one of Ohio’s oldest gay bars and a popular gathering place for young gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer, and transgender people, closed abruptly in late December. The Greater Toledo House of Prayer statements of belief on its website show it views LGBTQ people as immoral, stating that it considers homosexuality, bisexuality, and having a gender identity different than the birth sex chromosomal level are against the group’s values.”

SPEAKING OUT. Uma Thurman is spilling about her sexual assault by Harvey Weinstein.

HACKING DANGERS? How Grindr and Jack’d can put your privacy at risk.
