Stock-market volatility is creating the largest daily price swings since 1929 crash

Further illustrating the degree of daily price swings, the S&P 500 ended a 12-day streak of 1% moves up or down, the Bespoke analysts noted. A 13-day run is longer than anything seen during the 2008 financial crisis and just two shy of the 15 straight days of plus or minus 1% moves seen in October 2002 at the lows of that bear market, they said.

Getting to the bottom of the toilet paper shortage

Experts say empty store shelves also are caused by a fundamental shift in demand for a certain kind of toilet paper for use at home, as well as kinks in the supply chain between factories and stores.
