I came across a news story about the European markets at the beginning of last month and found it interesting to see how everything dropped all at once. When trading opened, it was practically a blow to all indices. Germany’s DAX30 plummeted 2.12%, the francês CAC40 fell even more by 2.47%, and the British also took a hit with the FTSE 100 down 1.64%. What caught my attention was the Euro Stoxx 50 slipping 2.85%—this indicates that the major players in the eurozone were truly worried.

The figures for the European markets looked really bad as well. Spain was among the worst, with the IBEX35 falling back 3.03%, while Italy with its FTSE MIB also suffered a drop of 2.91%. All of this happening simultaneously suggests it wasn’t an isolated problem for a specific country, but rather a broader concern affecting investors across the entire region. It seems like one of those days where you see red on practically every screen.
