A spike in volatility after plunging oil prices and escalating coronavirus fears sparked the second-busiest day of trading in Europe's equity markets since the 2016 Brexit referendum on Monday.
The value of trades on European stock exchanges soared to roughly €97.7bn on 9 March, according to data provided by Cboe Global Markets, making it one of the top five volume days since the exchange operator began tracking the data in 2010.
