Harvard University economist
Lawrence Summers warned
that the stock market turbulence is likely to continue, likening last week’s
$5.4 trillion market wipeout to 1987’s Black Monday.
“This
was the fourth-largest two-day move since the second World War,” Summers wrote on X.
“The
other three were the 1987 crash, the 2008 financial crisis, and the COVID
pandemic,” said the former Treasury Secretary under the Clinton administration.
On
"Black Monday," October 19, 1987, the Dow Jones Industrial Average
plunged 508 points, or 22.6%, the largest one-day percentage drop in its
history.
“A drop
of this magnitude signals that there’s likely to be trouble ahead, and people
ought to just be very cautious,” continued the former National Economic Council
director for President Barak Obama.
U.S.
and global stock markets sank last week after President Donald Trump imposed
hefty retaliatory tariffs on China, the European
Union and
a slew of other nations, on top of a 10% levy on all U.S. imports. The S&P
500 Index declined to its lowest level in 11 months, slashing $5.4 trillion in
market value in just two trading sessions.
In the
three trading days following Trump's announcement of broad reciprocal tariffs
on almost all countries, stock markets across the world have nosedived,
while investors have barreled into U.S. government bonds as both a safe haven
and a bet on Federal Reserve rate cuts.
Some
hedge funds are offloading all or most of their stock holdings as the Trump
trade war heats up.
In
premarket trading Monday, U.S. stock index futures continued to plummet, and
the S&P 500 looked set to confirm a bear market. Nasdaq entered a bear market on Friday.
