impact of coronavirus to the stock market

“Stock markets around the world are tumbling.” (Smith)
The stock market is one of the most vital components of a country’s economy. It is a part of the backbone of trading and commerce. In 2019, a disease that the public has now come to know as the Corona Virus Disease 2019, or COVID-19, posed a threat not only to the world’s health but also to the world’s economy. COVID-19 is the major factor that brought about the Stock Market crash of 2020.

On March 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that COVID-19 is a pandemic that has the danger of becoming globally widespread. This pandemic is an obstacle to the continued success of the stock market. On February 12, 2020, the DOW Jones, NASDAQ, and S&P 500 finished at record highs. However, just twelve days later, when the number of COVID positive cases outside of China started increasing, stock markets worldwide would experience “the largest one-week declines since the 2008 financial crisis.”.

Despite the stock market’s perceived instability in the months leading up to 2020, it’s clear to see that the Coronavirus pandemic is the major cause of the collapse of the global stock market. The stock market has taken a massive hit because of the pandemic and continues to be affected with no perceived recovery shortly soon. Despite the stock market rally towards the end of May, spurred on by the news of a vaccine and economic recovery, economists see this as the small rise before the continued fall.

It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams, master the lessons we’ve learned as we’ve moved toward that dream. That’s the point at which most people give up. It’s the point at which, as we say in the language of the desert, one ‘dies of thirst just when the palm trees have appeared on the horizon.” — Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist The Philosophy of Life is one of the most important pillars of life studies. The basic task on the Philosophy of life is to answer the questions on life and how one lives. Philosophy deals with topics of our existence, values, and reasoning. It also attempts to answer questions such as: "Is there a best way to live?" Paulo Coelho is a Brazilian author. In his writ...

CRISIS BREWING

by redlily The United States was merely a young nation in the mid-19th century. At the time, America was still struggling with its identity and what to make of its newfound freedom from Great Britain. With its rich immigrant history and variety of natural resources, the country was slowly writing its history. As the nation grew and expanded westward, with new territories being admitted to the Union, there was growing debate as to the issue of the swelling ranks of slavery in these new states. At this point, Northerners (free states) and Southerners (slave states) had contradicting views on the issue of slavery. The economy of the south relied greatly on the effort of slaves to work on their plantations. Slave owners had power and influence and were prepared to protect their interests at all costs. ...
