The market looks like it's finally correcting, and all it took was the Coronavirus to trigger the emotional pullout. I will be watching closely and dumping money in hopefully soon.

9:09 a.m. ET: Apache slashes dividend, capital spending as oil prices slide
Apache Corp. (APA) said Thursday it will cut its dividend and capital spending plans for the year in the wake of a precipitous decline in crude oil prices.
Shares of Apache, which had been down 60% from Friday’s through Wednesday’s close, tumbled another 15% in early trading following the announcement.
Apache’s dividend reduction brought the payout down by 90% to 2.5 cents per share each quarter, from 25 cents previously. The energy company also said it would reduce its 2020 capital investment plan to a range of $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion, down from a previous range of between $1.6 billion and $1.9 billion. Apache’s number of drill rigs operated in the Permian Basin will be cut to zero.
The move mirrors that of other U.S. shale producers earlier this week, which have been frantically updating their investment and dividend payout plans this week to cope with the stunning plunge in oil prices earlier this week. Peer energy giant Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY) on Tuesday had slashed its own dividend by nearly 90%, and cut its capital spending plans by as much as 35% for the year.
“We are significantly reducing our planned rig count and well completions for the remainder of the year, and our capital spending plan will remain flexible based on market conditions,” Apache CEO John Christmann said in a statement. “We are also further reducing operating and overhead costs as we continue to implement our corporate redesign program, which began in the fall of 2019. These decisive actions will benefit Apache as we navigate these challenging market conditions.”

9:03 a.m. ET: Carnival halts Princess Cruises for 60 days amid coronavirus
Princess Cruises, owned by parent company Carnival (CCL), will temporarily pause global operations of its 18 cruise ships for 60 days, or from March 12 to May 10, the company said in a statement Thursday.
Shares of Carnival were halted in early trading ahead of the announcement. The stock tumbled 23% after shares reopened for trading, putting it on pace for its lowest price since 2009.
"Princess Cruises is a global vacation company that serves more than 50,000 guests daily from 70 countries as part of our diverse business, and it is widely known that we have been managing the implications of COVID-19 on two continents," Jan Swartz, president of Princess Cruises, said in a statement.
"By taking this bold action of voluntarily pausing the operations of our ships, it is our intention to reassure our loyal guests, team members and global stakeholders of our commitment to the health, safety and well-being of all who sail with us, as well as those who do business with us, and the countries and communities we visit around the world," he added.

8:30 a.m. ET: Producer prices sink by the most since 2015 in February, as energy prices slide
Producer prices fell by the most in five years in February, reversing a January surge, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Thursday in its monthly report.
The headline producer price index (PPI) tumbled 0.6% in February over last month, well below the decline of 0.1% expected. PPI rose by 0.5% in January. This was the deepest plunge since January 2015.
The decrease was led by a drop in prices for final demand goods, with energy prices the biggest decliner. More than 60% of the monthly drop was attributable to the drop in prices for final demand energy, which fell 3.6%.
Excluding more volatile food and energy prices, producer prices fell 0.3% on a monthly basis in February, after a 0.5% rise in January. PPI excluding food and energy rose just 1.4% over last year in February, pulling back from the 1.7% rise at the start of the year.

12:15 p.m. ET: U.S. Department of Justice warns against coronavirus price gouging (This is great lol. Capitalism is great but has its flaws.)
The U.S. Justice Department said Monday that companies or individuals participating in price-fixing or bid-rigging for personal health protection products like face masks and sterile gloves could face prosecution. These items have become highly in demand amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
“The Department of Justice stands ready to make sure that bad actors do not take advantage of emergency response efforts, healthcare providers, or the American people during this crucial time,” Attorney General William P. Barr said in a statement.
The announcement comes as individual companies have taken actions to try and stem price gouging on their platforms and beyond. Facebook banned ads for medical face masks, along with ads that implied limited supply for medical products, to help quell elevated consumer concerns surrounding the outbreak. Amazon last week removed hundreds of thousands of high-priced offers for personal medical items on its site.
