LONDON - Global markets have kicked off the week in full selloff mode, with measures of volatility shooting up by the most on record in a single day, while equity futures and cryptocurrencies plummet, reviving memories of past crises.

The excess volatility and the brutal nature of the selloff have prompted a number of comparisons with past market storms, - the 1987 Black Monday stock market crash, the global financial crisis of 2008, and the panic that the onset of COVID-19 lock-downs unleashed in 2020.The VIX index, which reflects changes in implied volatility on options on the S&P, is starting to signal distress.

It has also been a traditional safe-haven asset and strengthened around 7% on a weekly basis in both 2008 and in 1998, at the height of the Asian financial crisis. But the current move is likely more linked to an interest-rate play than down to risk appetite. Silver often moves in synch with gold, but lacks the same safe-haven appeal. It is down 5% on Monday, but, much like stocks and gold, this is a relatively modest decline compared with numerous double-digit down-days in 2020 and a near 16% fall in a single day in October 2008.How the new 12-team College Football Playoff will work
