Don't worry guys, the sell off has mostly to do with investors being worried about what the Democratic candidates are saying
I know, you're probably thinking that's nuts because they've all said the same shit they've always said and why would that suddently cause the markets to sell off (especially markets outside the US)
Never fear, a "stable genius" with "a very good brain who has said a lot of things" recently said this
"I think it took a hit for maybe two reasons. I think they look at the people -- you watched (the debate) last night and they say, 'If there's even a possibility that that could happen' -- I think it really takes a hit because of that. And it certainly took a hit because of this," Trump told reporters at the White House, referring to the coronavirus.
He later reiterated that investors hearing Democratic candidates "had a huge effect" on the markets. "I think you can add quite a bit of sell-off to what they're saying," Trump said. "I really believe that's a factor."
