Stock Market: A warning like 1987 Black Monday, a crash in front of which this decline is nothing

Monday is proving to be very tough for the stock markets around the world. The domestic markets have fallen by 4 percent. European markets have also fallen by 6 percent. There are indications that the US markets will also be in loss. Today's session is being called Black Monday. However, today's fall is nowhere near the fall of the real Black Monday. The worrying thing is that a market veteran fears that the Black Monday crash recorded 38 years ago may repeat itself once again. If this fear comes true, then the market may witness such a fall in front of which the current fall will be nothing.

What is the warning given

about the US market? Famous American market expert Jim Cramer has warned that if US President Donald Trump does not change his aggressive tariff policy, then a day of heavy decline like 'Black Monday' of 1987 may return. On 19 October 1987, America's Dow Jones index fell 22.6% in a single day. S&P 500 also fell by more than 30 percent. This was the biggest one-day decline in history till date, which shook the markets all over the world. Cramer fears that if the trade war between Trump and the world escalates further, the market may once again register a record decline. There has been a decline in the markets for the last few days, but in most major markets, the one-day decline has been single digit i.e. less than 10 percent. The biggest fear of the market is that Trump has indicated that he will not change his decisions due to market shocks. What should investors do ? This warning has been issued for the US markets. It is true that the effect of the global market is visible in the domestic market, but this does not mean that investors should take steps out of fear. A report by Motilal Oswal says that India has the upper hand in the current environment. Indian markets fell on Monday but the performance has been better than other big markets. The report says that in such a situation, this decline can prove to be an opportunity for investment. Many such factors have been listed in the report which show that Indian markets will not only remain in a better position but can also pick up pace as soon as the global trend changes. On the other hand, if we look at Black Monday 38 years ago, the US markets had recovered from that decline as well. Experts advise that investors should remain cautious amid uncertainty and keep an eye on market conditions and focus on quality and strong stocks and also do not take any decision with fear
