Online brokerages including Charles Schwab and Fidelity Investments were down for thousands of users on Monday, according to outage tracking website Downdetector.com.

The reports come against the backdrop of a global rout, with Wall Street’s indexes tumbling at the open after weak economic data and drab second-quarter earnings sparked recession fears and prompted a rush out of everything from equities to crypto.

The website tracks outages by collating status reports from several sources including users.
