November 28, 1914
- New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) reopens for bond trading after nearly
four months, longest stoppage in exchange’s history; outbreak of World
War I in Europe forced the NYSE to shut its doors on July 31, 1914,
after large numbers of foreign investors began selling their holdings in
hopes of raising money for the war effort; world’s financial markets
closed by August 1. Trading of stocks didn’t resume until December 12,
1914, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA)--the most important
of various stock indices used to gauge market performance--suffered its
worst percentage drop (24.39 percent) since it was first published in
1896. This precipitous fall underlined the risky nature of business
during the first months of the war, when nobody knew exactly how long
the conflict would last or exactly what role the then-neutral U.S. would
eventually end up playing.
