Classic events of US stocks:
1, U.S. stocks plummeted by a thousand points, so check the earthquake source urgently.
20 10 May 6th is "Black Thursday" on Wall Street.
On Thursday night, the U.S. stock market experienced stormy waves. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, the weather vane of the global stock market, plunged nearly 1 1,000 points in intraday trading, with an unprecedented magnitude, and its lethality was comparable to that of a magnitude 9 earthquake.
But before that, there was not much bad news in the market. What happened in the American stock market, even the Americans themselves can't answer this question. It is reported that the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission have begun to investigate the "abnormal transactions" that caused the US stock market to plummet on Thursday.
2. The Dow Jones index plunged nearly 1000 points in intraday trading.
20 10 on may 6th, there is not much economic data worthy of attention in the US market except the number of people who applied for unemployment benefits for the first time and the number of people who renewed their insurance last week. Moreover, the data shows that the number of initial jobless claims in the United States decreased by 7,000 last week, which was better than expected. The data also fell for the third consecutive week, indicating that the labor market is slowly recovering. At the same time, the number of people applying for unemployment benefits is also decreasing.
Although the employment data was better than expected, the Dow opened slightly lower by nearly 6 points that day. However, with the lower prices of peripheral crude oil and metal futures, the intraday decline of the Dow has gradually expanded to around 3%, which has fallen below the 60-day moving average that has been stuck for nearly two months.
At 2 o'clock on the 7th Beijing time, the stock market is drawing to a close. According to foreign media reports, traders are watching the riots in Athens, Greece on TV. They never expected that the next more incredible thing would happen to them.
At 2: 29 Beijing time, the Dow began to perform a once-in-a-century diving-once plunged 998.50 points to 9869.62 points, setting an intraday decline record. Then it began to rebound, closing down 347.8 points to 10520.32 points, down 3.2%, the biggest drop in more than a year.
Two other major US stock indexes were also affected. The S&P 500 index plunged 3.24% to close at 1 128.05. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 3.44%.
It is worth noting that the famous "panic index" VIX, which estimates the potential volatility of the market in the next 30 days according to the option price of the S&P 500 index, soared 32% to 32.8 on Thursday, the highest level since July last year. When the financial tsunami swept the world in 2008, VIX remained at about 80 years old.
The plunge may be due to the misoperation of traders.
On May 6, 20 10, around 4: 47 (around 2:47 on May 7, 20/kloc-0, Beijing time), a trader mistyped one million (m) into one billion (b) when selling stocks, causing the Dow Jones index to plummet by nearly a thousand points.
From 14: 42 to 14: 47, the Dow Jones index instantly fell from 10458 to 9869.62, down 998.5 points from the closing of the previous trading day. At 2: 58, the Dow returned to 10479.74. This is the second largest one-day fluctuation in the history of the Dow Jones index.
Now new york Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market are investigating the abnormal fluctuations of the day. The Nasdaq Stock Market also said that market participants should also review their daily transactions to find out whether there are any wrong trading operations.
