Chart shows market upticks after Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, the deaths of Michael Brown and George Floyd, and acquittals in the Rodney King case.
Fox News on Friday posted an offensive graphic tracking stock market gains in the wake of several infamous attacks on Black men.
Each event was followed by an uptick in the stock market, ranging from a boost of 3.4% after Floyd’s death late last month to a 1.2% gain following the acquittal in the Rodney King beating case. The figures appear to have been pulled in part from stories in Fortune and The Wall Street Journal, which presented them in a more negative light: that the stock market tends to simply ignore social upheaval.
