Arab Spring, Hong Kong protests, Greece anti-austerity unrest: How historic mass protests shook stock markets?

SUMMARY
Historic mass protests have repeatedly rattled financial markets. The Arab Spring (2011) caused oil prices to spike and regional stocks to plunge amid political instability. Hong Kong's 2019 pro-democracy protests hammered the Hang Seng Index, hurt tourism, and weakened investor confidence in the financial hub. Greece's anti-austerity unrest (2010-2015) deepened its debt crisis, triggering eurozone-wide fears, bank runs, and capital controls. In each case, prolonged uncertainty drove capital flight, currency depreciation, and increased market volatility, proving that social upheaval directly impacts global economic stability.
