The stock market is plunging, should you sell your shares? We must not “give in to panic”, assure the experts

The most pessimistic expect a “bloodbath” in the coming days. In one week, the CAC 40, the flagship index of the Paris Stock Exchange, has already plunged by 8%, to drop below 6,000 points on Monday, a level it had not reached since March 2021. Far from record of 7,384.86 points, achieved at the very beginning of January after a dazzling 2021. The economic uncertainty linked, among other things, to the conflict in Ukraine, coupled with record inflation in Europe (8.1%), and especially in the United States (8.6%), is causing panic among investors.
