🖤 Black Monday: The Day Markets Shook the World

October 19, 1987 — a day that sent shockwaves through global finance.

In a single trading session, the Dow Jones plunged 22.6%, while the S&P 500 dropped 20.5% — marking the sharpest one-day decline in history.

This wasn’t just about falling prices. It exposed how fragile and interconnected financial systems truly are.

In response, regulators introduced “circuit breakers” — automatic trading halts to prevent panic-driven crashes in the future.

🔹 Black Monday reminds us that markets can crash suddenly — but they also recover.

🔹 Each crisis builds resilience.

🔹 Every setback teaches discipline, patience, and smarter investing.

History proves: even after the darkest days, the markets rise again. 🌅
