What Wall Street’s Ups and Downs Look Like
Men in blue jackets scamper across a trading room floor at the New York Stock Exchange, alternatively delighted or despondent, following rises
and falls of geopolitical turmoil, the specter of regulation or, perhaps, the whims of other investors.
Change from open: 1.62 %
Peter Tuchman, who BuzzFeed called “The Most Photographed Trader on Wall Street,”
works on the floor near an area where television stations run their broadcasts.
What these images of men on the trading floor convey is the mood of Wall Street, where the action affects everything
from the fortunes of corporate executives to retirement savings of middle-class families with 401(k) accounts.
500 closed the previous night at 2648.94, and trading in Asian and European markets overnight suggest
that United States markets are in for another bad day.
And on days like Monday, when the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index and the Dow Jones industrial average both experienced historic drops, pictures of anguished traders in news stories were reminders
that what goes up inevitably comes back down (if only to go back up once again).
As Wall Street comes alive, an employee walks through Federal Hall with the New York Stock Exchange reflected in the glass door.
