Can someone from this administration please address the stock market meltdown? Usually we get a little talk, a little reassurance. I think we deserve it.— Seán Ono Lennon (@seanonolennon) August 6, 2024 As reported earlier, the stock market went down sharply in the U.S. after an even worse situation that happened to the stock market in Japan last week caused largely by the interest rate increase made by the Bank of Japan earlier. Bitcoin reacted to the market crash with a massive drawdown, pulling the rest of the cryptocurrency markets along.

"Black Swan" author comments on Japanese market crash Earlier this week, risk analyst, scholar and writer Nassim Taleb (author of the “Black Swan” concept and the same-name book on managing uncertainty on markets and in life) also commented on the stock market collapse faced by Japan. Taleb pointed out that for 33 years before now, Japan has been keeping its interest rates close to zero, only adding quantitative easing measures to that. All of that comes “at a price you eventually must pay,” the scholar concluded. He added that Japan has been always mentioned by QE supporters as “a place where the strategy worked.”
