U.S. stock and bond markets will see an abbreviated session on Monday, with equity markets ending at 1:00PM ET (18:00 GMT), while bond markets are set for a 2PM ET (19:00 GMT) close. Both markets will be closed on Tuesday in observation of Christmas Day.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin will convene a call with the president's Working Group on Financial Markets, which includes Washington's main stewards of the U.S. financial system and is sometimes referred to as the "Plunge Protection Team."
Mnuchin spoke with the chief executives of JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley on Sunday, amid the rout on Wall Street. | | | | | Get the Investing.com App! Financial Markets on the Go | | | | | Follow us |  |  | | | | | |
