U.S. stocks ended sharply lower on Monday as the global equities meltdown continued. On Monday, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 dropped 3% each, while the Cboe Volatility Index “fear gauge” climbed by the most since 2018 to 38.57. Speculation about a looming US recession, an unwinding of artificial intelligence euphoria, and a surging yen leading to an unwind of carry trades had led to a three-day selling spree across global equities. The MSCI All-Country World Index slumped 6.4% in three sessions through Monday.
Japanese equities powered higher from the open leading gains in Asia after, retracing some of the losses sustained in Monday’s global rout. Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 index soared nearly 11% early Tuesday, before giving up some gains.
