Stock market crashes are inevitable.
According to a compilation from CNBC, there have been 13 bear markets since 1932.
This includes the 2020 coronavirus-driven crash, which saw global stock markets plummet down to Earth.
The US’ S&P 500 index in March 2020 plunged 34% from a then-record high on 19 February 2020.
Market participants have now found the next thing to fear, and that’s the debt crisis at China Evergrande.
Talks are rife that the heavily-leverage Chinese conglomerate could spark the next stock market crash.
No matter whether a known or a black-swan event brings about the next bear market….
