Although the Dow and other stock indices were up at the beginning of the day, they had fallen significantly by the end of the day.  One cause seems to have been the concern of a potential second wave of the COVID-19 virus.

Although the stock market had a good overall month of April, it did not have a good beginning for the month of May.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was down 2.55% to 23,723.69, while the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index was down 2.81% to 2,830.71.  The NASDAQ Composite index was down 3.20% to 8,604.95.

Bleak news about the unemployment rate and the COVID pandemic contributed to the moderate downturn in the final April session of the stock market.  However, the Dow and the S&P 500 did have their best monthly gains since 1987.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was down 1.17% to 24,345.72, while the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index was down 0.92% to 2,912.43.  The NASDAQ Composite index was down 0.28% to 8,889.55.

Evidently, the Fed’s continued low interest rates and Jerome Powell’s positive long-term outlook have given some hope to consumers.  This arguably was a major reason for the big stock market rally today.

U.S. stocks plunged again today.  After yesterday’s unprecedented drop into negative territory, though, crude oil futures started clawing their way back up today.  However, OPEC leaders now may be in “crisis mode.”

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was down 2.67% to 23,018.88, while the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index was down 3.07% to 2,736.56.  The NASDAQ Composite index was down 3.48% to 8,263.23.  Also, world markets were down substantially.

The stock market today reflected the shock of all the recent crude oil and pandemic problems.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was down 2.44% to 23,650.44, while the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index was down 1.79% to 2,823.16.  The NASDAQ Composite index was down 1.03% to 8,560.73.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was up 0.14% to 23,537.68, while the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index was up 0.58% to 2,799.55.  The NASDAQ Composite index was up 1.66% to 8,532.36.

After the stock market’s big “zig” yesterday, there was a big “zag” today.  This seems to be following the usual volatile pattern.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was down 1.86% to 23,504.35, while the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index was down 2.20% to 2,783.36.  The NASDAQ Composite index was down 1.44% to 8,393.18.

The Dow’s increase today more than compensated for yesterday’s decline.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was up 2.39% to 23,949.76, while the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index was up 3.06% to 2,846.06.  The NASDAQ Composite index was up 3.95% to 8,515.74.

There were significant gains in the stock market today.  Had the Dow gone up just 207.57 more points today, it would have been out of Bear Market territory and back into a Bull Market, although it still would need an additional gain of 2,955.14 points to be out of correction territory.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was up 3.44% to 23,433.57, while the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index was up 3.41% to 2,749.98.  The NASDAQ Composite index was up 2.58% to 8,090.90.
