Japan's Nikkei index closed more than 11% down, while shares in Hong Kong shed 4.8%. Australian, South Korean and Indian indexes all fell.

The prospect of a protracted economic downturn also sent crude oil prices lower to hit a 15-month low at $68.60 a barrel.

In European trading, the DJ Euro Stoxx 50 index, a barometer of euro zone blue chips, dropped 2.9 percent. By midday, the FTSE 100 index in London was down 2.8 percent. The CAC-40 in Paris lost 3.2 percent, while the DAX in Frankfurt fell 1.9 percent.
