Market Reactions to Global Events
Recent developments in the stock market indicate significant volatility, primarily triggered by Japan's central bank raising interest rates for the first time in over 15 years. This decision led to a drastic drop in the Nikkei Index, which subsequently affected U.S. markets as they reacted to global financial cues. Major technology stocks, including Nvidia and Apple, plummeted, contributing to the Nasdaq 100's considerable loss of market value over a short period. Fortunately, the Nikkei Index rebounded the following day, showcasing a 10.2% increase, alleviating some concerns about the overall stability of the market.
