<ul class="summary-list"><li>Stock markets worldwide are on the slide, with Japan's Nikkei falling more than 12% on Monday.</li><li>Worse than-expected jobs data in the US last week fuelled recession fears and drove the sell-off.</li></ul>Investors started the week with a shock on Monday <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/markets-japan-rate-hike-yen-fx-carry-trade-stock-futures-2024-8">as Asian markets tumbled, European stocks followed,</a> and US futures pointed to America continuing the trend.In Japan, often considered Asia's most important market, the benchmark Nikkei index dropped by more than 12% on the day, continuing a sell-off that started late last week. It was sparked in part by Japan's central bank decision to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/japanese-stock-market-selloff-boj-rate-hike-us-economy-s2024-8">raise interest rates</a>, strengthening the yen against the dollar, and rising investor fears of a US recession has also played a role.To put it into context, a move of 2% in either direction for a major index like the Nikkei on any given day is substantial — meaning a 12% drop is huge."The overriding message from today is ... hold on to your hats," Jim Reid, a research strategist at Deutsche Bank, as Tokyo battled losses of a scale not seen in almost 40 years since the Black Friday crash of 1987.Fears of a recession in the US jumped after <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/unemployment-rate-job-growth-july-labor-market-economic-data-2024-7">significantly weaker-than-expected July jobs numbers on Friday</a>, which also saw jobs numbers for June revised lower.Those lower-than-expected numbers pushed up expectations of a deeper and faster cycle of interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, with markets now pricing in a 78% chance of a 0.5 percentage point cut from the Fed in September, Reuters reported.<h2 id="d1a7e0ef-696e-4949-8e55-aea71cd49885">'Rapid, violent' reaction</h2>"Something of a perfect storm appeared on the horizon last week, with first a more hawkish than expected Bank of Japan, then a softer than expected US labour market report, barrelling into financial markets," Michael Brown, an analyst at online brokerage Pepperstone said in an email Monday."The reaction has been rapid, violent, and extreme," he said.While Monday's moves are substantial, several analysts have already suggested that markets are overreacting to last week's news. This could be exacerbated by August often suffering some market volatility."August is often a dangerous month," Reid said in a note to investors, "but with this one only being 2 and a bit business days old, we are seeing some astonishing moves already.""Markets were on edge before Friday but a weak payrolls has really escalated a profound move across the globe. However the reality is that although payrolls was disappointing it's hard to know how disappointing given the distortions from Hurricane Beryl," Reid wrote."It's like the market has added up 2+2 and made 9. It's easily possible we'll get the additional 3 and 2 to make up the total but we're certainly not there yet. It's hard to believe such market moves would have occurred in any other month."

The median return of those stocks was -7.4%.If you're an investor who likes to keep your money in individual stocks instead of an index fund, those might be scary statistics. But there are a few steps you can take to mitigate risk, according to RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist Lance Roberts, who discussed the paper in a recent note.To start — it's advice you hear time and again — make sure your money is diversified enough.Diversification comes in many forms. In addition to putting money into stocks, perhaps consider investing in bonds and real estate, Roberts said. You could also consider spreading your money across a number of different industries and sectors, instead of having your whole portfolio in, say, a few tech stocks. A simple way of doing that could also be putting money into an index fund.You can also set up stop-loss orders. This can be done in a brokerage account, and your position is sold if a share price falls to a certain point. There's also the trailing stop-loss order, Roberts said, which adjusts based on upward movements in a stock's price. So a 5% stop-loss limit, for example, moves up to correspond to a level 5% below a stock's rising price, but will never dip below the original stop-loss limit."This safeguard ensures that you are not solely reliant on timing the market, which, as we all know, is nearly impossible to do consistently," Roberts said.And third, take profits on gains. With Nvidia and other AI stocks delivering ungodly returns over the last couple of years, this piece of advice might be good for investors in those firms to hear. It can be tempting to stay fully in a stock that has treated you well. But doing so may also melt away the wealth you've built if the stock has a sudden turnaround, Roberts said."This is not an uncommon issue that I always see with clients and prospects," Roberts wrote. "Greed comes in three destructive forms: 1) the need to make more, 2) the lack of knowing when "enough is enough," and 3) the unwillingness to pay taxes."He suggested a strategy resembling something like taking half of your gains and buying safer assets like Treasurys, and said to keep in mind that paying taxes on capital gains can be cheaper than suffering losses."As investors, it's crucial to understand that market gains are never guaranteed and that the risks of overexposure can be devastating," Roberts said. If you're "riding the wave of massive market gains, ask yourself: Is now the time to take some chips off the table? Are your investments aligned with your long-term goals and risk tolerance?"
