The global stock market experienced one of its most significant sell-offs in decades, triggering widespread concern among investors and businesses. The downturn began in Japan, where the Nikkei index plummeted by 12 percent, marking its worst performance since the Black Monday crash of 1987. This drastic fall set off a chain reaction across global markets.
In the United States, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped by more than 1,000 points, a decline that caught the attention of even the most casual market observers.
