Dow: Largest Daily Point Changes In 2022 (Part 2)

 The Dow had two significant single-day point losses in August and September:

  • August 26   - 1008.38
  • September 13   - 1276.37

These point changes are synchronized with the 62.42 point drop that occurred on June 27 (6/27).  A chain of prime numbers starting with 1453, connects each of the three point drops.

  • On June 27, 2022, the Dow lost 62 points.
  • The 62nd prime number is 293.


  • 231 is the number to which 62 must be added to reach 293:

293 - 62 = 231


  • The 231st prime number is 1453:


  • On August 26 (8/26) the Dow lost 1008 points.
  • 627 + 826 = 1453, the 231st prime number.

  • August 26 can also be written 26/8.
  • The 268th prime number is 1721.



  • On September 13 the Dow lost 1276 points, the largest single day point drop in 2022.

(1276 - 1008) = 268


  • 1453 is the number to which 268 must be added to reach 1721:

1453 + (268) = (1721)


  • The 1276 point drop was the largest single-day change in 2022.  The largest point drop in the Dow's history was 2997 points on March 16, 2020.
  • The 1276 point drop is 1721 points less than the largest single-day point drop in Dow Jones history.

2997 - 1276 = 1721



Consider the two dates, June 27 (6/27) and August 26 (8/26).  Reversing the digits of 826, gives 628, a number formed by joining the first (6) and second (28) perfect numbers.  627 and 628 are consecutive integers.  Reversing the digits of 1453 gives 3541, the 496th prime number.



496 is the third perfect number.
