Are Global Markets Waiting for another Black Monday?
“Black Monday” refers to the stock market crash on Monday, October 19, 1987. The crash was pre-empted by investors’ fears that the broader market (VTI) was entering a bear market cycle and concerns about slowing economic growth. Other negative global factors also played a role in the crash. On Black Monday, the S&P 500 saw (SPY)(QQQ) about 20.5% value erosion in a single day.
