	Description:		US stocks have suffered one of the worst weekly falls in a decade as trade tensions with China, interest rate rises and a possible government shutdown rattled markets.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average recorded its biggest weekly drop in percentage terms since 2008, falling by 1.8 per cent today alone. Chris Low of FTN Financial in New York explains how the trading day unfolded.
