Global stock markets experienced a significant drop today, with the S&P 500 index in the US falling by 2.5%, the FTSE 100 in the UK dropping by 3.1%, and the DAX in Germany decreasing by 2.9%. This widespread sell-off was attributed to concerns over rising inflation rates and the possible scaling back of central bank stimulus measures. Investors were also wary of geopolitical tensions and the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy. Despite the downturn, analysts remain cautiously optimistic about the long-term outlook for the markets.
