'Dow rallies 300 points on bullish data as investors look past coronavirus concerns, China market rout

 

U.S. stocks bounced back Monday morning, following a brutal selloff Friday. The bounce comes as equity indexes in China suffered their worst daily declines in years — in the first trading session for Chinese markets since the spread of the coronavirus gained steam in late January.

 

U.S. stocks rebounded to start February following a significant selloff last week amid concerns over an Asian influenza that has thus far claimed at least 361 lives and infected more than 17,000 people looms large in China and has commanded the attention of domestic investors.

______

See cap #2 for current market snap and index #'s. Good volume so far and should surpass the daily averages all across the board. This is looking like the big disconnect as the Chinese markets are reeling so money is forced to find a home….:)

 

Oil is down on big volume. No wonder OPEC is mulling moar cuts-but will have to do it without co-operation from Russia and Iran according to latest reports. . They are fucked imo. Gold is coming back after an early sell-off. Cap #4

______

 

On Friday, the Dow shed 603.41 points, or 2.1%, to settle at 28,256.03. The S&P 500 lost 58.14 points, or 1.8%, ending at 3,225.52. The Nasdaq Composite Index retreated 148 points, or 1.6%, closing at 9,150.94.

 

The Friday selloff left the Dow with a 1% January decline, while the S&P 500 saw a monthly decline of 0.2%. The technology-heavy Nasdaq index held on to a 2% gain for January.

Also helping drive gains were data on the U.S. manufacturing sector from the Institute for Supply Management, whose purchasing manager’s index rose to a six-month high of 50.9% in January, versus expectations of a 48.5% reading, according to a MarketWatch poll of economists. Any reading above 50% indicates expansion, while below 50% indicates contraction. The Shenzhen Composite 399106, -8.41% dropped 8.4%, while the Shanghai Composite SHCOMP, -7.72% fell 7.7%, marking the worst daily tumble for that index since 2015. Chinese equity markets had been closed since Jan. 24 for the New Year holiday.

The People’s Bank of China said it would inject about $173 billion into the economy to stem the economic downturn, along with other measures to stabilize the economy.
