On Monday, significant declines hit U.S. and Japanese markets due to concerns over a slowing U.S. economy, sparking a global sell-off. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 2.6%, one of its largest single-day drops, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also faced substantial losses. Japanese stocks experienced their biggest one-day drop since 1987, with the Nikkei 225 index plunging over 12%. The downturn was intensified by falling oil prices and increased expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut at its next meeting.
