Until now former stockmarket crashes matching at least one of each of this criteria:

1. Deep economic crisis / Rezession
2. High currency / FX volatility
3. Sharp rise or fall of Gold prices
4. Geopolitical Crisis
5. Sharp rise or fall of comodity prices
6. Massively higher interst rates (1987: 10%)
