下午两点四十多道琼斯指数竟然跌了近一千点儿,跌到一万点儿以下(从最高点10,879到9,870)纳兹达克也跌了两百多点。不记得前年金融危机时一天之内有这样的跌法,如世界末日到来一般。2008年9月29日道琼斯指数收盘时跌了777.68点,今天收盘时道琼斯指数只跌了348点。
后来据CNBC报道,这可能是人为的错误导致: "According to multiple sources, a trader entered a "b" for billion instead of an "m" for million in a trade possibly involving Procter & Gamble PROCTER & GAMBLE, a component in the Dow. Sources tell CNBC the firm in question that handled the erroneous trade is Citigroup. The bank said it has no evidence of a bad trade but is investigating the situation"。这错误不知是否害得有人倾家荡产和跳楼?
特此留个纪念。
