updates: The Nikkei 225 index in Japan experienced a significant rebound of almost 11% on August 6, 2024, following the worst stock plunge since 1987. The drops were the latest in a global sell-off that began last week, and it was the first chance for traders in Tokyo to react to Friday’s report showing U.S. employers slowed their hiring last month by much more than economists expected. Professional investors cautioned that some technical factors could be amplifying the action in markets, and that the drops may be overdone, but the losses were still neck-snapping [c0000031].

Version 0.66 (2024-08-05 16:06:57.665000)

updates: Japanese stocks experienced their largest single-day drop ever as fears of a U.S. recession grew. The benchmark Nikkei lost 4,451.28 points to close at 31,458.42, its lowest level this year. Panic selling gripped the Tokyo stock market, with foreign institutional investors, hedge fund managers, and individual Japanese investors rushing to flee the market. The decline in Tokyo stocks is primarily attributed to concerns over a possible recession in the U.S. economy, which has caused severe fluctuations in global markets. Economic data from the U.S., including a decrease in manufacturing index, a decline in new orders of manufactured goods, and a slowdown in hiring, fell short of expectations and fueled concerns of a faster-than-anticipated slowdown in the U.S. economy. The appreciation of the yen against the U.S. dollar also contributed to the decline in Japanese stocks. The sharp appreciation of the yen was driven by disappointing U.S. economic data and the Bank of Japan's decision to hike interest rates. The prospect of a narrowing interest rate gap between Japan and the U.S. prompted investors to sell U.S. dollars and buy yen, putting pressure on Tokyo shares. The decline in the U.S. stock market was not as significant as in Japan, but there is a possibility of continued sharp fluctuations in the future.

updates: European and Asian stock markets fall on fears of US economic slowdown

Version 0.64 (2024-08-05 15:18:34.267000)

updates: Stock markets in Asia and Europe also experienced sharp declines. Several big technology companies turned in underwhelming profit reports. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq composite fell. The future of the US economy remains uncertain. The July ISM services index and Chinese inflation and producer prices for July will be important indicators to watch. Goldman Sachs economists believe the weak jobs numbers for July are not indicative of a new trend and expect job growth to recover in August. Chicago Federal Reserve President Austan Goolsbee stated that the central bank would react to signs of weakness in the economy and indicated that interest rates could be too restrictive now. Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman suggests that market turmoil could necessitate an emergency rate cut by the Federal Reserve. The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX), a measure of expected volatility in the stock market, surged to its highest level in more than four years. Wharton economist Jeremy Siegel called on the Federal Reserve to make an emergency rate cut of 75 basis points in response to the disappointing jobs report. Japan's Nikkei stock index dropped over 12%, erasing all its gains for the year and experiencing its worst decline since 1987's 'Black Monday'. South Korea's composite index KOSPI fell by 8.77 percent to 2,441.57 points, marking the largest single-day drop on record. Australian stocks closed down 3.7 percent on Monday, wiping more than $100 billion from the market's capitalization. Economists at Goldman Sachs raised the likelihood of the US economy slipping into a recession within the next 12 months from 15 percent to 25 percent. China's A-share market showed resilience, with the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges fluctuating narrowly and many blue-chip stocks rebounding.

The financial sector in China dropped by 1.07% and the real estate sector slipped 1.22%. The healthcare sector saw a modest gain of 0.91%.
