Stock Market Prices Plunge - October 1987

The Dow Jones industrial average, the most widely followed barometer of stock market activity, suffered its three biggest one-day point losses ever during the first half of October. A decline of 91.55in the average on October 6, was attributed to concern over rising interest rates. On October 7, major banks raised their prime lending rates from 8.75 percent to 9.25 percent, the fifth increase of the year. The Commerce Department reported, October 14, that the U.S. trade deficit had shrunk to $15.7B in August, but it had been widely expected that the deficit would be much smaller. As a result, stock prices fell again, with the Dow Jones average declining by 95.46 points. On October 16, the Dow tumbled 108.36 points, the first time the Dow had lost 100 points in a single session. In terms of percentages, the declines of October 1987 were still substantially smaller than the disastrous declines of October 1929. By October 16, the Dow Jones average had slipped some 450 points below its all-time August highs.

Soviet People Vote to Preserve Union - March 1991

During another turbulent month in the Soviet Union, the people voted to keep their federal union. On March 1, nearly 200,000 coal miners went on strike in the Ukarine, Kazakhstan, Russia, demanding higher pay. The strike spread and soon included a demand by the miners that Pres. Mikhail Gorbachev resign. In nonbinding plebiscites, March 3, voters in Estonia and Latvia backed independence from the Soviet Union. The final draft of the union treaty, published March 9, proposed to transform the nation into a "democratic state, formed as a result of a voluntary union equal republics," from which any republic could secede. Boris Yeltsin, president of Russia, March 9, urged democratic forces to "declare war on the leadership…which has led us into a quagmire." Hundreds of thousands of Yeltsin's supporters demostrated in Moscow and other cities, March 10. Mayor Gavril Popov of Moscow urged citizens not to support the treaty. With only 9 of 15 republics officially participating, the treaty was approved, March 17, with 77 percent of some 105M voters reportedly saying yes. In an apparent boost for Yeltsin, Russian voters approved direct election of their president. Gorbachev, March 25, banned demostrations for 3 weeks in Moscow, but on March 28, more than 100,000 Yeltsin supporters turned out anyway.
