desplome/fuertes caídas de los valores financieros/acciones financieras


Explanation:
En este contexto, "to tank" significa sufrir una fuerte caída, venirse abajo, desplomarse la cotización de un valor. En este caso, yo diría algo como:

las fuertes caídas de las acciones financieras
las fuertes caídas de los valores financieros
el desplome de las acciones financieras

Un saludo
