We wrote last week that the global financial markets were standing on the brink of a steep cliff, with the US economy staring at a possible default.
Anyways, while the US has averted a default (at least as of now), the markets indeed jumped off the cliff, with stocks in the US leading the free-fall.
In fact, this week was the worst for the US markets since the 2008 crisis. The Indian markets also had their worst week since the crisis. The Sensex fell by almost 900 points during the week, with almost 45% of these losses coming on Friday (5th August) alone.
Now is the time!
