Key Impacts:

- Dow Jones down 15%, S&P 500 down 18% – worst single-day drop since 1987.

- Asian markets (Nikkei, Hang Seng) open sharply lower; European indices expected to follow.

- Shipping & commodity sectors hit hard: VLCC rates dip, bulk freight (bauxite, coal) futures slide amid demand fears.
