What is Stock market crash?
A '''stock market crash''' is a sudden and dramatic decline of [[stock]] prices. Crashes often result in a major loss of paper wealth. Crashes are associated with panic selling and underlying economic factors. Crashes usually come after [[speculation]] and economic bubbles. Crashes are often though not always associated with bear markets. For example, the [[Black Monday (1987)|stock market crash of 1987]] didn't lead to a bear market.<ref>{{cite news|title=Stock Market Crash 1987|publisher=Federal Reserve History|url=https://www.federalreservehistory.org/essays/stock-market-crash-of-1987|access-date=April 17, 2021}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Financial crises]] {{stub}}
