US Stock Market Plunges, Global Markets in Panic
The Spin
Establishment-critical narrative
Economic and political turmoil have created a changing dynamic that could fundamentally alter the status quo of global markets. With the rise of globalism, markets are more interconnected than ever, and Japan’s plunging economy has deep ramifications for the US, which is the catalyst for the entire world. The Fed’s looming decision on cutting rates may be the first domino, but changing political tides towards populism may be charting an entirely new outlook that renders conventional wisdom obsolete.
Pro-establishment narrative
How many times have we seen the stock market plummet, sparking global hysteria and doomsday predictions? The answer is many. The recent market turmoil is no different than its predecessors, and the best thing for investors — both small and large — is to remain calm and stay the course. It’s impossible to predict what the market will be tomorrow, never mind next month or next year. Everything will self-correct in due time, and there’s no reason to act impulsively.
