El desplome de las bolsas se extiende por Asia

October 11, 2018 - Las bolsas de Asia se desplomaron el jueves en la mayor liquidación de acciones y bonos desde febrero – una reacción retrasada al incremento de la semana pasada en las tasas de interés de referencia de la Reserva Federal de EUA.

Japan’s Topix index was down 3.5 per cent, putting it on track for its heaviest one-day fall since March, while Taiwan’s Taiex tumbled 6 per cent.

The rout began on Wednesday with major U.S. stock markets plunging. Tech stocks, in particular, fell hard, as the Nasdaq fell 4.1 per cent to approach “correction” territory.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 fell 3.2 per cent and 3.3 per cent, respectively, with all three indexes taking almost half their losses in the last two hours of the trading day.
