First, the stock market. The three major stock indexes in the United States fell by 1.48%- 1.73% respectively, and the Asia-Pacific stock index was even more bleak. Japan fell by 3.22%, Hong Kong fell by 4.84%, South Korea fell by 4.69%, and the Shanghai Composite Index fell by 2.36%. Then the resource market. Gold and oil prices plunged 1. 1% and 2.4% respectively, while silver fell by 2.5%. On the contrary, the exchange rate of the US dollar rebounded, and US Treasury bonds turned from stagnation to prosperity. The exuberant speculative sentiment originally inspired by the optimism that "the economy has bottomed out and rebounded" seems to have disappeared in an instant.

Dubai crisis is a new embodiment of the old crisis.

"The Dubai debt crisis is not a new crisis, but it may be the final manifestation of the international financial crisis." Chen Bingcai, a researcher at the Decision Consulting Department of the National School of Administration, said. Dubai's debt crisis is caused by the collapse of real estate prices, the break of the capital chain and the suspension of construction projects. It should be synchronized with the sharp drop in real estate prices in Europe and the United States caused by the shrinking value of financial derivatives. However, during the financial crisis, the debt did not expire, and a large amount of international capital flowed to Dubai. Therefore, the debt problem in the past year has been hidden. Dubai's debt crisis usually has a time lag, so this is just a new reflection of the old crisis.

Dubai is the entrepot trade center in the Middle East, and its non-oil trade accounts for 70% of UAE countries. By establishing a free trade zone and attracting foreign businessmen without tax, its tourism industry is developed, which in turn drives a lot of real estate investment. Therefore, experts believe that Dubai's non-oil economy such as trade, port economy, leisure and tourism is relatively stable, and Dubai's debt crisis is expected to be resolved in the next two or three years.
