Padcu na trgih ni videti konca! Kako trgovati?

Marec 12, 2020 15:11


The UK and US stock markets have suffered their worst days since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, plummeting by 15% on March 9. This follows a steep crash in the oil price, amplified by concerns about the economic cost of the coronavirus pandemic.

The FTSE 100 lost almost GBP125 billion, or 7.7%, making March 9 the fifth worst day in history for the index, which finished below 6,000 points. This brings the FTSE 100 to its lowest level since the 2016 Brexit vote.

Meanwhile, the Dow Jones closed down by 7.8%, dropping more than 2,000 points for the first time in history.

What caused the crash?

The stock market crash follows increasing economic losses due to the coronavirus pandemic, as the world's major governments struggle to bring local travellers home and to contain the outbreak.

In addition, oil markets dropped, with the coronavirus outbreak affecting the demand for crude oil. Tensions between Saudia Arabia and Russia remain high over oil production cuts, with Russia refusing to sanction cuts that would support the oil price, and Saudi Arabia pledging to increase production.

This sent the oil price crashing on Monday by more than 30% at one point, dropping to about $35 a barrel. Consequently, oil stocks were the ones that recorded the day's most severe losses:

  • BP - down 18%
  • Total down 17%
  • Chevron down 14%

With continuing international tensions and the coronavirus still spreading, we can expect continued volatility in the coming days.

How can you trade?

While market volatility is often cause for increased panic in the media, volatility can lead to opportunity for savvy traders. As CFDs give traders the ability to trade long or short, CFD traders have the opportunity to profit in both rising and falling markets.
