The stock market fluctuates with the culture and events American people live through. A new study from Madison Trust Company makes that clear. The team created a line graph displaying stock market changes since its creation. They highlight the major events that caused dips, drops, and bubbles. In a further graphic, the team highlighted the most impactful events and briefly described the impact on the market.
This is a fascinating look at history and a very informative view of how current and future events could shape the stock market. These changes can affect anyone with a retirement account so even those with little stock knowledge can benefit from the information on this chart. It’s easy to read and helps people understand why the markets might plunge or flourish. For example, wars, terror attacks, and political assassinations negatively impacted the stock market, while new innovations like the internet caused the market to flourish.
