2020 stock market crash

The 2020 stock market crash is a global stock market crash that began on 20 February 2020.[1][2][3] On 12 February, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the NASDAQ Composite, and S&P 500 Index all finished at record highs (while the NASDAQ and S&P 500 reached subsequent record highs on 19 February).[4][5] From 24 to 28 February, stock markets worldwide reported their largest one-week declines since the 2008 financial crisis,[6][7][8] thus entering a correction.[9][10][11] Global markets into early March became extremely volatile, with large swings occurring in global markets.[12][13] On 9 March, most global markets reported severe contractions, mainly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and an oil price war between Russia and the OPEC countries led by Saudi Arabia.[14][15] This became colloquially known as Black Monday. At the time, it was the worst drop since the Great Recession in 2008.[16][17]

Three days after Black Monday there was another drop, Black Thursday, where stocks across Europe and North America fell more than 9%. Wall Street experienced its largest single-day percentage drop since Black Monday in 1987, and the FTSE MIB of the Borsa Italiana fell nearly 17%, becoming the worst-hit market during Black Thursday.[18][19][20] Despite a temporary rally on 13 March (with markets posting their best day since 2008), all three Wall Street indices fell more than 12% when markets re-opened on 16 March.[21][22] At least one benchmark stock market index in all G7 countries and 14 of the G20 countries were declared to be in bear markets.

During March 2020, global stocks saw a downturn of at least 25%, and 30% in most G20 nations. On 20 March, Goldman Sachs warned that the US GDP would shrink 29% by the end of the 2nd quarter of 2020, and that unemployment could skyrocket to at least 9%.[23] Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has called the looming economic crisis 'akin to the Great Depression'.[24]

In the United States, stock prices rose steeply from the March lows: on 26 May 2020, the Dow Jones Industrial Average eclipsed 25,000 points for the first time since the previous March,[25] and by the beginning of the following month, the S&P 500 eclipsed its 200-day moving average while the NASDAQ-100 rallied 42% from the three indices most recent local minimum on 23 March.[26] The rally was motivated by news of potential coronavirus vaccines and economic recovery, but economists warned that it could be a "bear market trap".[27][28][29][30]

The 2020 stock market crash occurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is the most impactful pandemic since the flu pandemic of 1918.[31] Rising fears and global economic shutdown due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is believed to be a main cause of the stock market crash, though many experts have argued that it is an 'accelerant' rather than a sole core reason behind the crash.[32][33]

During 2019, the IMF reported that the world economy was going through a 'synchronized slowdown', which entered into its slowest pace since the financial crisis of 2007–08.[34] 'Cracks' were showing in the consumer market as global markets began to suffer through a 'sharp deterioration' of manufacturing activity.[35] Global growth was believed to have peaked in 2017, when the world's total industrial output began to start a sustained decline in early 2018.[36] The IMF blamed 'heightened trade and geopolitical tensions' as the main reason for the slowdown, citing Brexit and the China – United States trade war as primary reasons for slowdown in 2019, while other economists blamed liquidity issues.[34][37]

Since the financial crisis of 2007–08, there has been a large increase in corporate indebtedness, rising from 84% of gross world product in 2009 to 92% in 2019, or about $72 trillion.[38][39] In the world's eight largest economies–China, the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy, and Germany–total corporate debt was about $51 trillion in 2019, compared to $34 trillion in 2009.[40] If the economic climate worsens, companies with high levels of debt run the risk of being unable to make their interest payments to lenders or refinance their debt, forcing them into restructuring.[41] The Institute of International Finance forecast in 2019 that, in an economic downturn half as severe as the 2008 crisis, $19 trillion in debt would be owed by non-financial firms without the earnings to cover the interest payments on the debt they issued.[40] The McKinsey Global Institute warned in 2018 that the greatest risks would be to emerging markets such as China, India, and Brazil, where 25-30% of bonds had been issued by high-risk companies.[42]

The Federal Reserve has expanded its balance sheet greatly through three quantitative easing periods since the 2008 financial crisis. In September 2019, a spike in the overnight repo interest rate caused the Federal Reserve to introduce a fourth round of quantitative easing; the balance sheet would expand parabolically following the stock market crash.

In August 2019, the U.S yield curve inverted, which sparked fears of a 2020 recession across the world.[43] The inverted yield curve and trade war fears prompted a sell-off in global stock markets during March 2019, which prompted more fears that a recession was imminent.[44] Rising debt levels in the European Union and the United States had always being a concern for economists. However, in 2019, that concern was heightened during the economic slowdown, and economists began warning of a 'debt bomb' occurring during the next economic crisis. Debt in 2019 was 50% higher than that during the height of the Great Financial Crisis.[45] Economists have argued that this increased debt is what led to debt defaults in economies and businesses across the world during the recession.[46][47] In October 2019, the Federal Reserve began intervening in the role of investor to provide funds in the repo markets.[48]

The unemployment rate in the United States was 3.6% in late 2019, which was the lowest unemployment rate since World War II.[49] Although the unemployment rate decreased substantially between 2009 and 2019, income inequality continued to increase. In September 2019, the United States Census Bureau reported that income inequality in the United States had reached its highest level in 50 years, with the Gini index increasing from 48.2 in 2017 to 48.5 in 2018.[50] Despite the low unemployment, the ISM Manufacturing Index dropped below 50% in August 2019, reaching a record low of 48.3% in October of that year (which was the lowest level since June 2009); it would continue to remain below 50% in the months leading up to the crash.[51]

10–14 February

On Monday, 10 February 2020, Asia-Pacific stock markets closed up while European stock markets closed mixed,[52][53] with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the NASDAQ Composite, and S&P 500 also closing up (and the NASDAQ Composite and S&P 500 at record highs).[54] Oil prices rose by 1%,[55] while the yields on 10-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities fell to 1.54% and 2.02% (with part of the yield curve inverting as the 10-year yield fell below the 3-month yield at 1.56%).[56] On 11 February, Asia-Pacific and European stock markets closed up,[57][58] while the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed flat but the NASDAQ Composite and S&P 500 closed at new record highs.[59] Oil prices rose by 2%,[60] while yields on 10-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities rose to 1.59% and 2.05% respectively.[61]

24–28 February

On Monday, 24 February 2020, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and FTSE 100 dropped more than 3% as the coronavirus outbreak spread worsened substantially outside China over the weekend.[108] This follows benchmark indices falling sharply in continental Europe after steep declines across Asia.[109][110] The DAX, CAC 40 and IBEX 35 each fell by about 4% and the FTSE MIB fell over 5%.[111][112] There was a large fall in the price of oil and a large increase in the price of gold, to a 7-year high.[113][114] Yields on 10-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities fell to 1.36% and 1.81% respectively.[115] On 25 February, stock markets worldwide closed down,[116][117][118] while oil prices fell to their lowest level in more than a year and the yields on 10-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities fell to new record lows of 1.31% and 1.80% respectively.[119][120] Indonesian Finance Minister Sri Mulyani announced a $742 million fiscal stimulus program.[121]

On 26 February, stock markets worldwide finish with mixed records,[122][123][124] while oil prices fell for the fourth session in a row while the yields on 10-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities fell 1.30% and 1.80% respectively.[125][126] The Bank of Korea declined to cut its overnight rate.[127] On 27 February, due to mounting worries about the coronavirus outbreak, stock markets in Asia-Pacific and Europe saw 3–5% declines,[128][129] with the NASDAQ-100, the S&P 500 Index, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average posting their sharpest falls since 2008 (and the Dow falling 1,191 points, its largest one-day drop since the 2008 financial crisis).[130] Oil prices sank to their lowest level in over a year,[131] while yields on 10-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities fell to 1.28% and 1.77% respectively.[132] European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde indicated that while the European Central Bank was monitoring the outbreak, it was not yet causing a long-term impact on inflation and thus did not yet require a monetary policy response.[133]

On 28 February, stock markets worldwide reported their largest single-week declines since the 2008 financial crisis,[6][7][8] while oil futures saw their largest single week decline since 2009 and the yields on 10-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities fell to new record lows at 1.12% and 1.30% respectively.[134][135] Outgoing Bank of England Governor Mark Carney stated that the British economy (which saw stagnation and car manufacturing declines in the 4th quarter of 2019) was being impacted by the outbreak because it relies heavily on tourism revenues and international manufacturing supply lines.[136] Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell stated that the outbreak was posing "evolving risks to economic activity" and that the Federal Reserve would use monetary policy to "act as appropriate to support the economy" but that "The fundamentals of the U.S. economy remain strong."[137] Outgoing Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad announced a RM20 billion fiscal stimulus package.[138]

Ultimately, from 24–28 February, stock markets globally plummeted several percentage points, while on Wall Street the indices were down at least 10%.[139] It was the fastest correction in market history from all-time high, taking merely six days to enter into correction territory.[140] The sudden drop in late February was attributed to fears that China could produce a global economic shock, primarily due to quarantines imposed by the state to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, which at the time was classified as an epidemic.[141] Within weeks, stocks fell sufficiently enough to enter bear market territory.[142] Concerning reports of the viruses spread in South Korea, Italy and Iran also prompted fear in investors, mounting to a mass sell-off in Asia-Pacific stock markets as well as European ones.[143]

2–6 March

Also on 3 March, due to the Bank of Mexico declining to cut its overnight rate further,[156] Mexican Finance Minister Arturo Herrera Gutiérrez announced a fiscal stimulus program to accelerate government spending.[157] The Federal Open Market Committee lowered the federal funds rate target by 50 basis points with Federal Reserve Chair Powell stating that the central bank "saw a risk to the outlook for the economy and chose to act" and that "the magnitude and persistence of the overall effect [of the outbreak] on the U.S. economy remain highly uncertain".[158][159] At the close of trading on 3 March, European and Asia-Pacific stock markets had mostly risen,[152][160] but the S&P 500, the NASDAQ Composite, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average all fell (with the Dow reversing more than two-thirds of the previous day's gain).[161] Oil futures rose and the yield on 10-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities fell to record lows of 0.91% and 1.60% respectively (with the fall below 1% on the 10-year securities occurring for the first time in history).[162][163]

On 4 March, Asia-Pacific and European stock markets continued mostly rising (with the KOSPI alone rising by 2%),[164][165] while the S&P 500 rose by 4.2%, the NASDAQ Composite rose by 3.8%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average reversed the previous day's loss by rising by 1,173 points (or 4.5%).[166] However, oil futures fell and the yield on 10-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities finished at 0.99% and 1.64% respectively.[167][168] The Bank of Canada and the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority announced 50 basis point cuts to their overnight and repo rates respectively,[169][170] International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva announced a $50 billion emergency credit-line program to assist low-income and emerging market countries with policy responses to the epidemic,[171][172] and the Central Bank of Brazil announced that it would auction up to $1 billion in foreign exchange swaps.[173]

On 5 March, Asia-Pacific stock markets continued rising while European stock markets closed down.[174][175] The S&P 500, the NASDAQ Composite, and Dow Jones Industrial Average all fell by more than 3%.[176] Oil futures rose following reports of OPEC agreeing to production cuts with Russia,[177] while the yields on 10-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities fell to 0.91% and 1.54% respectively.[178] The Central Bank of Argentina cut its bank rate by an additional 200 basis points,[179] and after declining to cut its overnight rate on 27 February,[180] the Bank of Korea renewed a currency swap agreement with Bank Indonesia.[181] On 6 March, stock markets worldwide closed down (although the Dow Jones Industrial Average, NASDAQ Composite, and S&P 500 closed up on the week).[182][183][184] Oil prices fell by 9% (the largest one-day price drop in 11 years),[185] while the yields on 10-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities fell to new record lows under 0.71% and 1.22% respectively.[186] U.S. President Donald Trump signed into law an emergency appropriations and pandemic countermeasures bill including $8.3 billion in government spending.[187]

Russia–Saudi Arabia oil price war

Main article: 2020 Russia–Saudi Arabia oil price war

The reduction in the demand for travel and the lack of factory activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted demand for oil, causing its price to fall.[188] In mid-February, the International Energy Agency forecasted that oil demand growth in 2020 would be the smallest since 2011.[189] Chinese demand slump resulted in a meeting of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to discuss a potential cut in production to balance the loss in demand.[190] The cartel initially made a tentative agreement to cut oil production by 1.5 million barrels per day following a meeting in Vienna on 5 March 2020, which would bring the production levels to the lowest it has been since the Iraq War.[191]

After OPEC and Russia failed to agree on oil production cuts on 6 March and Saudi Arabia and Russia both announced increases in oil production on 7 March, oil prices fell by 25 percent.[192][193] On 8 March, Saudi Arabia unexpectedly announced that it would increase production of crude oil and sell it at a discount (of $6–8 a barrel) to customers in Asia, the US, and Europe, following the breakdown of negotiations as Russia resisted calls to cut production. The biggest discounts targeted Russian oil customers in northwestern Europe.[194]

Prior to the announcement, the price of oil had gone down by more than 30% since the start of the year, and upon Saudi Arabia's announcement it dropped a further 30 percent, though later recovered somewhat.[195][196] Brent Crude, used to price two-thirds of the world's crude oil supplies, experienced the largest drop since the 1991 Gulf War on the night of 8 March. Also, the price of West Texas Intermediate fell to its lowest level since February 2016.[197] Energy expert Bob McNally noted, "This is the first time since 1930 and '31 that a massive negative demand shock has coincided with a supply shock;"[198] in that case it was the Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act precipitating a collapse in international trade during the Great Depression, coinciding with discovery of the East Texas Oil Field during the Texas oil boom. Fears of the Russian–Saudi Arabian oil price war caused a plunge in U.S. stocks, and have had a particular impact on American producers of shale oil.[199]

9–13 March

Black Monday I (9 March)

Crash

Prior to opening, the Dow Jones Industrial Average futures market experienced a 1,300 point drop based on the coronavirus and fall in the oil price described above, triggering a trading curb, or circuit breaker, that caused the futures market to suspend trading for 15 minutes.[200] This predicted 1,300 point drop would establish 9 March as being among the most points the Dow Jones Industrial Average has dropped in a single day.[201][202] When the market opened on 9 March, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 1800 points on opening, 500 points lower than the prediction.[203]

The United States' Dow Jones Industrial Average lost more than 2000 points,[204] described by The News International as "the biggest ever fall in intraday trading."[205] The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a number of trading "circuit breakers" to curb panicked selling.[200] Oil firms Chevron and ExxonMobil fell about 15%.[206] The NASDAQ Composite, also in the United States, lost over 620 points. The S&P 500 fell by 7.6%.[207] Oil prices fell 22%,[208] and the yields on 10-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities fell below 0.40% and 1.02% respectively.[209] Canada's S&P/TSX Composite Index finished the day off by more than 10%.[210] Brazil's IBOVESPA gave up 12%, erasing over 15 months of gains for the index.[211] Australia's ASX 200 lost 7.3% – its biggest daily drop since 2008,[212][213] though it rebounded later in the day. London's FTSE 100 lost 7.7%, suffering its worst drop since the 2008 financial crisis.[214][215] BP and Shell Oil experienced intraday price drops of nearly 20%[216] The FTSE MIB, CAC 40, and DAX tanked as well, with Italy affected the most as the coronavirus pandemic in the country continues. They fell 11.2%, 8.4%, and 7.9% respectively.[217][218][219] The STOXX Europe 600 fell to more than 20% below its peak earlier in the year.[220]

In a number of Asian markets—Japan, Singapore, the Philippines and Indonesia—shares declined over 20% from their most recent peaks, entering bear market territory.[221] In Japan, the Nikkei 225 plummeted 5.1%.[222] In Singapore, the Straits Times Index fell 6.03%.[223] In China, the CSI 300 Index lost 3%.[224] In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index sank 4.2%.[225] In Pakistan, the PSX saw the largest ever intra-day plunge in the country's history, losing 2,302 points or 6.0%. The market closed with the KSE 100 index down 3.1%.[226] In India, the BSE SENSEX closed 1,942 points lower at 35,635 while the NSE Nifty 50 was down by 538 points to 10,451.[227]

Former George W. Bush administration energy policy advisor Bob McNally noted, "This is the first time since 1930 and ’31 that a massive negative demand shock has coincided with a supply shock;"[228] in that case it was the Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act precipitating a collapse in international trade during the Great Depression, coinciding with discovery of the East Texas Oil Field during the Texas oil boom. The Washington Post posited that coronavirus-related turmoil could spark a collapse of the corporate debt bubble, sparking and worsening a recession.[229] The Central Bank of Russia announced that it would suspend foreign exchange market purchases in domestic markets for 30 days,[230] while the Central Bank of Brazil auctioned an additional $3.465 billion the foreign exchange market in two separate transactions and the Bank of Mexico increased its foreign exchange auctions program from $20 billion to $30 billion.[231][232] After announcing a $120 billion fiscal stimulus programs on 2 December,[233] Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced additional government spending,[234] while Indonesian Finance Minister Sri Mulyani announced additional stimulus as well.[235]

Etymology

As the hashtag #BlackMonday trended on Twitter,[236] news organizations such as the Associated Press,[237] The Economist,[238] and Yahoo Finance UK adopted the term on the day it occurred.[239] While The Guardian initially referred to it as "Crash Monday", they also later referred to it as "The Black Monday of 2020" to distinguish it from the 1987 crash of the same name.[240] The Associated Press also quoted an analyst of the Australian finance company OFX as saying, "A blend of shocks have sent the markets into a frenzy on what may only be described as 'Black Monday' ... A combination of a Russia vs. Saudi Arabia oil price war, a crash in equities, and escalations in coronavirus woes have created a killer cocktail to worsen last week’s hangover."[241]

10–11 March

On 11 March 2020, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended an 11-year bull market run and entered a bear market. Symbolic statues from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange pictured.

United States presidential address

Main article: March 2020 Oval Office Address

On 11 March, US president Donald Trump gave a public address. In the speech, the president announced a temporary 30-day travel ban against Europe in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Although Trump initially stated that the ban would include all goods and passengers from Europe, the details of the travel ban were later clarified: the ban affects people who are not US citizens who in the past two weeks visited the 26-member Schengen Area, but does not include trade goods and cargo. The travel ban notably excluded the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, who were added 3 days later. Trump did not consult the European Union before imposing the travel ban.[267]

Carmen Reinicke of Business Insider wrote that Trump's address to the nation "failed to calm investors' concerns about the economic fallout from the coronavirus outbreak".[268] According to one writer for Barron's, "Dow futures were up around 300 points before the president’s address began. And then the president started talking—and futures started falling."[269]

Black Thursday (12 March)

Black Thursday[270] was a global stock market crash on 12 March 2020, as part of the greater 2020 stock market crash. US stock markets suffered from the greatest single-day percentage fall since the 1987 stock market crash.[271] Following Black Monday three days earlier, Black Thursday was attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic and a lack of investor confidence in US President Donald Trump after he declared a 30-day travel ban against the Schengen Area.[272] Additionally, the European Central Bank, under the lead of Christine Lagarde, decided to not cut interest rates despite market expectations,[273] leading to a drop in S&P 500 futures of more than 200 points in less than an hour.[274]

Bank Indonesia announced open market purchases of Rp4 trillion (or $276.53 million) in government bonds,[275] while Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo stated that Bank Indonesia's open market purchases of government bonds had climbed to Rp130 trillion on the year and Rp110 trillion since the end of January.[276] Despite declining to cut its deposit rate, the European Central Bank increased its asset purchases by €120 billion (or $135 billion),[277] while the Federal Reserve announced $1.5 trillion in open market purchases.[278] Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced a A$17.6 billion fiscal stimulus package.[279] The Reserve Bank of India announced that it would conduct a six-month $2 billion currency swap for U.S. dollars,[280] while the Reserve Bank of Australia announced A$8.8 billion in repurchases of government bonds.[281] The Central Bank of Brazil auctioned $1.78 billion foreign exchange spots.[282]

Soon after trading began, a Level-1 trading curb was triggered on major US stock markets due to increased selling, leading to a 15-minute halt on trading.[268] Level-1 circuit breaker is triggered with a fall of 7% on the S&P 500 Index. The trading halt occurred after the markets reached a drop of 7.2 percent within 15 minutes. The crash temporarily recovered after the Federal Reserve Bank of New York offered at least $1.5 trillion worth of short-term loans to banks for 12–13 March, but the market quickly resumed its decline soon after.[304] The Dow fell 2,353 points,[305] losing all of its gains from its lowest point in 2018.[306] The drop surpassed Black Monday, which occurred just a few days before, to be the greatest single-day point drop ever.[307] Together with the drops of 1,191 and 1,465 points on 27 February and 11 March, the four largest Dow daily losses up to Black Thursday were all linked to the COVID-19 pandemic.[308][309][310][311] President Trump reacted to the crash by defending his travel ban and predicting that the stock market would eventually recover with central bank intervention.[312]

The working week began in the City of London with oil prices down by 30% and the leading barometer of UK shares registering falls of more than 8%, so it didn’t take long for it to be dubbed Crash Monday. To be sure, those with long enough memories would have been able to recall a similar market panic in October 1987, when a wave of selling began in east Asia and rolled inexorably westwards. That, though, is about as far as the comparison goes, because the 2020 Black Monday is a lot more serious than the one 30-odd years ago.
