2011美国股市11大疯狂时刻

欧债危机缓解

    日期：2011年11月30日

    道琼斯指数：上涨490点，涨幅4.2%

    美联储联合其他五大央行，决定采取措施缓解欧债危机。消息一出，投资者弹冠相庆。各银行的联合行动旨在降低全球银行借贷美元的成本。各大央行的信息非常明确：他们决不允许再次发生类似2008年银行倒闭的金融灾难。受这一消息的刺激，道琼斯指数大幅上涨，之后全球各大股指也全线上扬。

    但最初的热情退却之后，投资者很快意识到，这一举措根本不可能拯救支离破碎的欧元区，充其量只是为各国领导人赢得更多时间，好让他们能最终找到一条各方都能接受的方案，继续前行。

Concerns ease over Europe

    Date: November 30, 2011

    Dow: up 490, or 4.2%

    Investors cheered news that the Federal Reserve, along with five other central banks, were stepping up to ease the crisis in Europe. The coordinated action by the banks was meant to make it cheaper for banks around the world to borrow U.S. dollars. The central bankers' message was heard loud and clear: They won't let another financial catastrophe happen like the 2008 bank failures. The Dow surged following similar moves by indices around the globe.

    After the initial reaction, however, investors quickly realized that the move would not fix the broken euro zone, it would only buy its leaders more time to agree on a path forward.
