Talk:Black Monday (2020)

Graph

Could somebody create/add an image of a graph showing the Dow Jones falling 7.9%? I think it'd be helpful for this article. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ♥) 02:13, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Sir! It seems that AP has replaced the old article for the new one "Asian stocks steady after plunge on virus, oil crash" and the original article is no longer available. https://apnews.com/d69d338f530492125c92424b8ae3290d So, please replace the above link to any other link of an appropriate article as the source of the Largest DOW daily point losses table.

Change in name

Can we move this article to a more broader one like "2020 financial crash"? It is bound to be a more general crash than just a Monday event. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexceltare2 (talk • contribs) 15:14, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

That'd be against WP:CRYSTAL. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ♥) 16:24, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

In any case a broader crisis seems probable but we can have articles on both. —Nizolan ^{(talk · c.)} 16:42, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Should already be covered at Socio-economic impact of the 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak though, right? Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ♥) 17:46, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Merger and renaming proposal

I propose to merge Black Thursday (2020) into Black Monday (2020), and renaming it to something like '2020 Stock Market Crash'. There are two reasons we should do this: Firstly, although Monday and Thursday were the two largest dips in the stock market (around -7% both days), there have been multiple other days of large market drops (-5% on 3/11, -4% on 3/5). Secondly, there is little evidence that these events are known as "Black Monday" or "Black Thursday" in the media or in the financial industry, the cited source (The Evening Standard) does not represent the way most people are referring to this market downturn.

• Support "2020 stock market crash" is a good placeholder for now until media coalesces around a single name. Juxlos (talk) 17:07, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
• Support. Last week was incredibly volatile in world markets and while new records are being set with each day, the specific independent day movements are not sufficiently notable enough to have standalone articles. There were many major falls during the 1929-1933 collapse, but they do not all have their own WP articles. We are going to have a few more of these days in the next few weeks, so they should all be merged. Britishfinance (talk) 12:32, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Note that I think we should use the term "2020 global stock market crash", as what is definitely notable about this period, is that all global markets are in extraordinary levels of correlation (which means that we have several mega-Long-Term Capital Management players dominating all global trading).

• Support. As merge has already occurred. -- CommonKnowledgeCreator (talk) 15:58, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
