2. The Shanghai Composite's Surreal Week

The Shanghai Composite saw its share of wild swings this week, being up as much as 7.8% at the high Friday, and down as much as 8.5% at the low Thursday. That works out to a 16.3% swing, the second-biggest weekly trading range for China’s benchmark stock index in more than seven years (last week took the number one spot at 16.4%). To put that into perspective, it would be the equivalent of a 2,800-point swing in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Yeah, that’s a lot of volatility! - Charles Brady, Senior Editor, FOX Business Network
