3 weeks ago - Stocks did not begin to recover until 1989. In Japan, the October 1987 crash is sometimes referred to as "Blue Tuesday", because of the time zone difference, and its effects were relatively mild. According to economist Ulrike Schaede, the initial market break was severe: the Tokyo market declined 14.9 percent in one day, and Japan's losses of US$421 billion ranked next to New York's $500 billion, out of a worldwide total loss of $1.7 trillion.

Stock Market Crash of 1987 | Federal Reserve History
According to Bernanke, the 10 largest New York banks nearly doubled their lending to securities firms during the week of October 19 even though discount window borrowings didn't themselves increase (Garcia 1989). Some experts argue the Fed's response to Black Monday ushered in a new era of investor confidence in the central bank's ability to calm severe market downturns. Unlike many prior financial crises, the sharp losses stemming from Black Monday were not followed by an economic recession or a banking crisis. Former Fed Vice Chairman Donald Kohn said, "Unlike previous financial crises, the 1987 stock market decline was not associated with a deposit run or any other problem in the banking sector" (Kohn 2006).

October 20, 2025 -
On October 19, 1987, global markets experienced one of the most dramatic single-day crashes in history: the Dow Jones dropped 22%.
Panic spread across trading floors, screens flashed red, and chaos ruled the markets. Investors and traders alike were caught off guard, as risk models back then offered little protection against a crash of this magnitude.
Yet, despite the unprecedented move, the market eventually recovered, as it always has, reminding us that volatility is part of the trading landscape.
Today, technology and AI tools aim to help traders spot early warning signs, the cracks in the market before they escalate into full-blown panic.
It’s sobering to look back at Black Monday and realize how quickly sentiment and fear can dominate.
Are there any traders here who actually experienced Black Monday firsthand? How did it shape your approach to risk and trading afterward?

This may not happen again due to circuit breakers. When the price drops too fast, trading is stopped for some time, giving market makers (or whoever) time to make adjustments.

October 20, 2024 -
"After having lost some 10 percent of its value the week before, the Dow Jones Industrial Index fell 508 points, or 22.6 percent, on Black Monday, wiping out $500 billion in what was, at that time, the biggest-ever one-day stock-market loss to date."
It took roughly two years for the DOW to recover to pre-Oct levels.
The regulators has since introduced crash protection via circuit breakers, so that trading stops if it were to plunge. Even during the great financial crisis in 2008, the largest single one day fall was 8%.
How prepared are you for another Black Monday if it were to occur ?
Most of us will probably shrug our shoulders and carry on,
the smarter ones amongst us will probably deploy the cash that has been sitting on the sidelines.
Those who borrowed money could face a margin call.
Those who shorted the market are probably laughing all the way to the bank.
By the way, this is a great video capturing the mood of that week.

If you invested $1,000 the day before the plunge, and did nothing about it, your portfolio would be $17,000 today. The DJIA was already back where it was in 1987 by 1989. What would I do if (when) there is another black Monday? nothing. Maybe use the opportunity to buy more shares in solid companies now at discount prices.

October 18, 2012 - MARTIN: Tomorrow marks the 25th anniversary of the stock market crash known as Black Monday. Joining us to talk about it is Roben Farzad. He's a contributing writer for Bloomberg Businessweek. So how did that compare with what we experienced in 2008? FARZAD: You know, believe it or not, the stock market was revisiting new highs by the middle of 1989, and that's why this does seem like a blip, whereas the stock market took about four years to recover after the crash of 2008.
