Will the Stock Market Crash in 2016? – February 2016

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning -

stock market crash

Many investors fear a stock market crash in 2016 as the broader markets continue to drop. So far in 2016, the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq are down 8.6%, 9.9%, and 15.4%, respectively.

A stock market crash is a sudden decline in stock prices across multiple sectors. It's often triggered by fear and panic, which differs from a profit-taking market sell-off.

The most recent example of a stock market crash was in 2008.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average collapsed from its high of 14,164 on Oct. 9, 2007, to 11,000 in early July 2008 - a 22% drop. This was the result of over a dozen big banks failing from high-risk loaning practices. Major financial markets lost more than 30% of their value in 2008, according to Investopedia.

We likely won't see a major stock market crash in 2016, but there is no denying we have reached bear market territory...

The Biggest Stock Market Crash Warning Sign We've Seen in 2016

Stock Market Crash

We just received the biggest stock market crash warning sign we've seen in 2016, when economist Albert Edwards shared an ominous outlook for U.S. stocks and the economy.

The Societe Generale expert says if the U.S. economy tumbles into a recession led by low manufacturing output, the U.S. market will sink a whopping 75%.

A stock market correction is defined as a 10% drop from a market's high, and a bear market is a 20% drop. So what Edwards is forecasting is a full on stock market crash...

stock market crash

The latest stock market crash prediction forecast by legendary contrarian Marc Faber is a little vague. He says what's going on with the Chinese yuan could have a negative impact on U.S. markets.

But we'd prefer a more thorough outlook on the state of the damaged Chinese currency and what to expect from it in the near future.

Good thing we know exactly who to listen to...
