U.S. stocks sold off across the board in the first trading week of 2016, dragged down by concerns over the potential repercussions from a collapse in China's stock market.

The drop in the S&P 500 this week translates to nearly $1.1 trillion in market-cap losses.
"It's been a panic-selling-type week and the U.S. markets have opened down more than 1.5 percent below the previous close in three of the last four days," wrote Roberto Friedlander, head of energy trading at Brean Capital, in reference to the overnight sell-offs in China.
Already this week, China's Shanghai composite plunged 10 percent while other major indexes like Germany's DAX and Japan's Nikkei 225 are down 8 percent and 7 percent, respectively.
