University of Maryland U College Fluctuations in Stock Market Discussion

I’m working on a finance discussion question and need an explanation to help me learn.

Go to the internet and find a news article(s) published within the last six monthsthat discusses the reasons for the dramatic ups and downs of the stock market indexes, like S&P 500, DJIA, and NASDAQ Composite, during March 2020, summarize key points of the article using finance terminology, and post your response in the Discussions area.

Please note that the goal of this discussion is to read, understand, and discuss recent news using finance terminology. The article should be from an on-line newspaper or magazine. Materials posted on educational websites, like www.thebalance.com,www.khanacademy.org , www.fool.com, and so on, are not considered news articles even if they were recently updated and contain material related to the discussion topic.

Reflection – the students also should include a paragraph in the initial response in their own words, using finance terminology, reflecting on specifically what they learned from the assignment and how they think they could apply what they learned in the workplace or in everyday life.
