      I report on U.S. stocks as a member of the markets team. I have written about what the coronavirus pandemic might mean for corporate earnings, why small-cap stocks suffered more than larger companies during the selloff and why a recent breakdown in correlations among asset classes made some investors nervous. I regularly write about the daily U.S. stock market action, explaining to readers how investors see these movements and what they anticipate going forward.
