How did global stock markets do today?

Since China unexpectedly began to devalue its yuan on Aug. 11, more than $5 trillion has been wiped out from global indices - raising concerns about a worldwide economic slowdown.

Today, all of this fear culminated in a huge market sell-off - one that's being referred to by some folks on social media as another #BlackMonday.

Here's a look at what's happening with the stock market crash heard around the world...

How Did Global Stock Markets Do Today, by the Numbers

  1. Global markets today were bad enough to raise the fear index by 67%. Britain's FTSE 100 finished today down 288 points, or 4.67%, at 5,898. That's 17% off its recent record high, reported The Guardian - its sharpest decline since 2009.
  2. Stock market crash

  3. The pan-European Stoxx 600 had its worst day since the end of 2008. It closed 13% lower than the record it reached in April - its worst one-day drop since 2011.

  5. The German DAX Index sank almost 5%, down 22% from its peak in April of this year. According to Bloomberg, the DAX was one of the biggest gainers at the beginning of 2015, which will make it one of the worst hit due to its exposure in China.

  12. Stock market crash

  13. Australia's ASX 200 saw its worst one-day fall in four years, wrote ABCNews, shedding more than 4%, or $64 billion, in value.
