History

Historical Context

The stock market crash on October 19, 1987, known as Black Monday, saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average drop 22.6% in a single day, marking the largest one-day percentage decline in history. This crash, attributed to factors like overvaluation and program trading, prompted regulatory reforms, including circuit breakers to stabilize trading. The market recovered by 1989, highlighting the resilience of investor confidence.
