Black Monday: The Day the Markets Trembled

🗓️ October 19, 1987 — a date etched in financial history.

In a single trading session, the U.S. stock market imploded:

📉 The Dow Jones plunged 22.6%,

📉 The S&P 500 sank 20.5%,

🌍 and global markets followed in shock.

It wasn’t just about numbers—it was a wake-up call.

Black Monday exposed how fragile financial systems can become under pressure. In its aftermath came one of the most important safeguards in modern trading: circuit breakers, automatic halts designed to cool markets during panic-driven selloffs.

🧠 The lesson endures: markets can fall fast—but they recover.

Every crash forges resilience, sparks reform, and shapes wiser investors.

Crises may shake confidence, but they also build the foundations for stronger, more disciplined markets.
