⚫ Black Monday: The Day the Markets Trembled 📉
October 19, 1987 a date forever etched in financial history.
In just one trading session, panic swept across Wall Street:
📉 Dow Jones: -22.6%
📉 S&P 500: -20.5%
Billions in value evaporated.
Investors around the world watched in disbelief as markets collapsed in hours the steepest single-day drop ever recorded.
But Black Monday wasn’t just about numbers.
It was a turning point one that exposed the fragility of global finance and forced a complete rethink of market systems.
💡 Out of the chaos came innovation:
➡️ Circuit breakers automatic trading halts to stop runaway selloffs and give markets a chance to breathe.
🧠 The lesson still stands decades later:
Markets crash. They recover. And they rise stronger.
📎Every collapse plants the seeds of reform, innovation, and resilience.
⚖️ Discipline. Risk management. Perspective.
That’s how fear turns into opportunity and panic becomes progress.
