NEW YORK — The stock market had its biggest drop since the Black Monday crash of 1987 Thursday as fears of economic fallout from the coronavirus crisis deepened.

The sell-off, which sent the Dow industrials down 10%, came despite supportive steps from the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank.

The steep drops over the last month have wiped out most of the big run-up on Wall Street since President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

On Thursday:

The S&P 500 index fell 260.74 points, or 9.5%, to 2,480.64.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 2,352.60 points, or 10%, to 21,200.62.

The Nasdaq dropped 750.25 points, or 9.4%, to 7,201.80.

The Russell 2000 index of smaller company stocks gave up 141.39 points, or 11.2%, to 1,122.91.
