There’s only one word to describe the first trading day of 2016: chaos.
Reuters reports China’s Shanghai Composite index dropped almost 7% on Monday. That’s before the exchanges halted trading—for the first time ever.
The loss was worse than 99.6% of all trading days since 2007 (a period that includes the global financial crisis).
European equity markets opened 2016 with a 2.5% decline… the all-time worst start for European stocks in history.
The U.S. S&P 500 index ended Monday down 1.5%. It had dipped as low as 2.4%. A close at that level would’ve been the worst opening day loss for U.S. markets in 84 years.
The news won’t surprise Mega Trends Investing (MTI) subscribers. In December, MTI Editor Teeka Tiwari warned his readers to prepare for high volatility in the weeks and months ahead.
