2011美国股市11大疯狂时刻
美国债务上限危机 日期:2011年8月4日 道琼斯指数:下跌512点,跌幅4.3% 2011年,美国国会一直是导致市场悲观情绪的罪魁祸首。今年8月份早些时候,议员们仍然未能在最终期限之前提高债务限额,这也将他们的无能展现得淋漓尽致。而接下来的一天,便是月度就业报告公布的日期,它进一步加重了投资者的恐慌。预测美国经济将二次探底的经济学家人数陡然之间激增,8月4日也被认为是自2008年金融危机以来最糟糕的交易日。 只不过,这顶所谓“最糟糕”的帽子到了接下来的周一就再次易主。 |
Debt ceiling crisis Date: August 4, 2011 Dow: -512, down 4.3% Congress was the source of so much disappointment during 2011. Legislators reached the pinnacle of ineptitude in early August, when they failed to meet a deadline to raise the debt ceiling. It happened one day before a monthly jobs report was expected, which made investors even more nervous. The number of economists forecasting a double-dip recession suddenly spiked, and the August 4 plunge was declared the worst trading day since the 2008 financial crisis. The worst, that is, until the following Monday. |
