After Asian and then European stock markets fell, Wall Street's Dow Jones and S&P 500 indexes shed 2.3%.

Earlier, circuit-breakers triggered a suspension in Chinese trading following a 7% fall in the country's main index.

Later on Thursday, the Chinese authorities said they were suspending the circuit-breaker system.
