World stock markets have plunged following a near 9
per cent dive in China shares, but commodities and the dollar pared
losses and United States stocks staged a striking comeback in a volatile
session after European markets closed.
After dropping more than
1,000 points, or almost 7 per cent at Wall Street's open, the Dow Jones
industrial average eased losses and was down 3.55 per cent at the
closing bell.The benchmark Standard & Poor's 500 index finished down 3.93 per cent after earlier approaching correction territory, or 10 per cent off its record high.
A key measure of US equity volatility, the CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, shot above the 50 mark for the first time since 2009 before dropping back to 33 as US investors turned their focus back to domestic US issues.
"With those markets closed, it's now focused more on US fundamentals. The US economy remains relatively strong compared to others around the world," said Peter Jankovskis, co-chief investment officer at OakBrook Investments LLC in Lisle, Illinois.

"Anybody with a pulse was nervous when the market opened," said Michael James, managing director of equity trading at Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles.
"We're still going to see significant price swings both up and down before the day ends today.
"The only thing that's certain is the volatility is going to continue in the short term, given the magnitude of the moves that we've already had in the last four days."
