STORIES FROM THE DESK
Accumulating knowledge is about adding one small block of information at a time. So my plan is to start dropping some useful facts that will help you along your path to secure your future role in finance.
I remember the first time I saw an earthquake headline come across the scroll when I was a junior on the desk (a mixture of disbelief and panic!). Little did I know that Japan has approximately 5,000 minor earthquakes every year, with less than 20% registering a magnitude greater than 4.0.
Why does this happen? Japan overlaps the four continental plates – the Pacific, the Philippine, the Eurasian, and the North American plate. Here, the plates slide over liquid rock and cause tension, which is eventually released and expressed as earthquakes. So before you panic, the factor for markets as to whether it reacts or not is the magnitude. For context, the Tohoku Earthquake in March 2011 registered at 9.1, the highest on record.
