If anything, it’s highly unlikely that markets will keep falling so quickly — at that pace, most of the stock market would evaporate by the end of the year.

But any continued losses are unwelcome losses, so investors are rapidly fleeing to more risk-light assets. The problem is the 10-year Treasury yield now yields a mere 1.74%, and many traditional safe-haven stocks have actually enjoyed buying amid the downturn, helping to drive down their yields.
