Draw Breath

I may be jumping the gun a bit here, but I'm finding it hard to tally the BBC's World Stock Market Slump Hits Second Day with the BBC's own stock market data, especially if you take this snapshot of the One-Month View (this is a snapshot at the time of writing. The current state of play is here). It's quite a fall, but I wouldn't call it a slump. Compare it, for example, to 1987 or 2001.

At least the FT has updated its story between last night and this afternoon.
