Why is The Stock Market Up 700 Points
As of Friday, April 12, The Dow Jones was up 700 points, which is about 2.99%. With Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM) up over 10%. But why is the stock market up, when unemployment is hitting record highs and many states are in a state of emergency.
Is a Cure Found?
University of Chicago Medicine analyst saw “Very fast recoveries” in 125 patients suffering from COVID-19 who were taking Gilead Sciences Inc.’s GILD, +9.73% experimental drug redeliver as part of a clinical trial, according to a Thursday night report. This made Gilead Sciences Inc rose almost 9%.
I think that this made Wall Street think that a cure was close and that any good news with a cure or medicine would make any investor less worried. Also, this would make normal people think that the crash was coming to an end and these low prices are a good buy.
Over 22 million Americans have lost their job due to COVID-19, moving it from 3.5% to around 15%.
