SQUAWK BOX, WEDNESDAY 13TH MAY, 2020

Wall Street suffers steep losses with the Dow Jones falling more than 400 points and the Nasdaq breaking a six-day rally. This comes on the back of Dr Anthony Fauci’s Coronavirus Senate hearing where the White House’s top virus adviser warned against reopening the U.S. economy too soon. The pandemic also weighs on Commerzbank. The German lender swings to a loss in the first quarter and warns that it is difficult to give concrete guidance. CNBC has learned that ride-hailing app Uber has made an offer for food delivery service Grubhub but the price has yet to be decided. And the UK awaits first-quarter GDP data, which is expected to show that the British economy has severely contracted, as retail sales fall by more than 19 per cent for April.
