Fears of a disorderly default by Evergrande that could threaten the Chinese and global financial system were on display Monday as global equities and other assets perceived as risky tanked, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.10% down more than 600 points, or 1.8%, while the S&P 500 SPX, +0.15% slumped 1.7%.

Financial markets soon found their footing, with equities roaring back Wednesday and Thursday, turning major U.S. indexes positive for the week. Worries about Evergrande appeared to ebb as the People’s Bank of China pumped significant liquidity into the financial system.
