Stocks Tumble From Shanghai To New York

Following the People’s Bank of Chinas’ credit tightening, the Shanghai Composite suffers its worst percentage loss since 2009. The sell-off triggered US markets to decline into the red as markets opened this Monday, with the Dow having an intra-day low of 14,551.

The falling markets comes less than a week of US Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke’s, announcement of tapering off bond buying and stimulus spending. The bearish market continues as investors continue to grasp for some positive news.
