The slowdown in AMERICA, billionaires pauper:
In the
world of business, statistics keep coming and going. Sometimes data comes about
jobs and sometimes about food and drink. But today such news has also come,
after which there was an uproar in the stock market. In a way, the stock market
has collapsed. Now let us tell you the news in detail because this news is
related to your investment somewhere.
The
graph of the Consumer Price Index in America, which came in the past, is
referred to as the CPI (US Consumer Price Index). In the CPI figure that came,
there was a 0.1% increase from July to this month. That is, no change was seen
in it in the last month, but if we look at this figure from year to year, then
we will see an increase of 8.3% in the price.
That is
inflation in America gradually but reached its peak. However, people got some
relief in America last month. There was a drop of 10%in the price of petrol,
due to which people heaved a sigh of relief. But food rent, health,
electricity, and natural gas have made life difficult for people. There has not
been any reduction or relief in inflation.
Let us
tell you that in August, the food price in America increased by 0.8%. The
figures did not come and people also started giving their reactions to this
figure. No one thought that this figure would make the market so bad that the
US market would start breaking into a one-way track. The three indexes of the US
stock market i.e. Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq fell by about 5%.
In a
way, the market crashed. This crash was so tremendous that earlier such a
situation was seen only in June 2020. There was no recovery in the market till
the close of the market. That is, the market wanted to recover from the lower
level, but it could not happen due to heavy selling. Eventually, the Dow closed
with a decline of 1300 points.
At the
same time, the S&P fell more than 4% and Nasdaq also could not contain
itself and closed with a fall of more than 5%. Due to this, the American rich
also suffered heavy losses. The loss is such that don't ask. Not one or two,
but the entire property worth ₹ 80,000 crores was destroyed. Amazon founder
Jeff Bezos suffered a loss of ₹80,000 crores in a single day. At the same time,
Elon Musk, the world's richest person, could not escape it.
Their
assets have come down by more than ₹70,000 crores. Now tell me a figure came
and in total there was a loss of lakhs of crores of rupees in a few minutes.
Wait now, this list of losses is not over yet. There are other names included
in this list. It also includes the name of Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg, Google
founder Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
The wealth of all of them has fallen by more than $ 400 million. Only time will tell what and how much effect will be had on the global market due to heavy selling in the American market.
The recession hit Goldman Sachs, now employees will be facing a layoff.
In
Western countries, the fear of recession has started showing in jobs. Jobs are
being lost in startups first in the IT sector and then in the financial sector.
News coming in is that global investment giant Goldman Sachs has started its
layoff. This news is also quite frightening because, for the first time
since covid, Goldman Sachs has started such a large-scale layoff.
That is,
after two years, there has been a round of layoffs at Goldman. It is being told
that the company can start firing people from next week. The company plans to
lay off as many as 100 employees. The company calls its annual layoff process
Strategic Resource Assessment (SRA). In this process, 1 to 5% of the employees
are given pink slips.
According
to a report by Reuters, even if the number of layoffs will be less, but even
then hundreds of people will have to lose their jobs. At the end of June this
year, Goldman's total number of employees had risen to 47,000. This number is
15% more than last year. Now even if 1% of the people are removed from this,
even then about 500 people are sure to lose their jobs.
In July
itself, Goldman Sachs said that due to the poor economic environment, it may
have to slow down recruitment and cut expenses. The company's quarterly profit
also declined by 48%. Not only this, but the company's earnings from investment
banking have also fallen by 41% compared to a year ago. A recession in America
is looming.
Inflation
is at its peak and to bring it under control, the Federal Reserve is increasing
the rates rapidly. Due to this the market for corporate deals has also cooled
down. So far this year, more than 150 IT companies have fired more than 37,000
people. Seventy five American tech companies had fired employees, the most in
June.
Big
companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are included in this queue.
Overall, the global economic environment remains difficult and the first impact
of this is visible on jobs. In the coming time, if the situation does not
improve rapidly, then more companies may have to go on the path of layoff.
