Trump’s tariff induced stock market crash leads to meme fest on X; #BlackMonday Trends in India
India's stock markets experienced a significant decline on Monday, as the BSE Sensex and Nifty50 both dropped by over 4%.
Every sector finished in the red, with tech stocks—many of which rely on the US market—plummeting by over 7%. Shares in metal, auto, real estate, and oil & gas sectors also suffered notable declines. Smaller and mid-sized companies were hit hard too, as small-cap and mid-cap indices dropped by 10% and 7.3%, respectively.
The sharp market downturn triggered a wave of memes on social media, with users responding to the financial chaos with humor. While long-term investors were left unsettled, those who hadn’t invested found amusement in the situation.
Pictured below are some of the Black Monday memes on X today.

It can't be a Black Monday because Trump banned DEI. So it must be Orange Monday instead. #BlackMonday #OrangeMonday pic.twitter.com/U2z6OZaMEh
