Stock Market Update Monday August 5, 2024 Global financial markets are undergoing a significant correction, driven by a confluence of factors including the unwinding of the Yen carry trade, escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and mounting concerns regarding a potential U.S. economic recession. The Japanese Nikkei index experienced a sharp decline of 12.4%, marking its worst single-day performance since the infamous Black Monday crash of 1987. This bearish sentiment reverberated across U.S. equity futures and the cryptocurrency market, with major indices like the SPY and QQQ opening over 4% lower.

Notably, the Japanese yen exhibited exceptional strength, appreciating by 2%, and at one point reaching an intraday gain exceeding 3%.
