Was looking at the graph above for the Venezuela Stock Market and the Caracas Stock Exchange Stock Market Index crashed 99.90% over the weekend of March 15th, 2021. It dropped from 2,700,000 to 2,700.
What happened and why did the stocks crash? I can't find anything about it in the news.

Not a crash, an adjustment. Because of the insane inflation, they have adjusted it periodically by dividing by 1000. Last one was March 2021.
