⚫ 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.
