Encouraging data about a potential coronavirus vaccine has sent markets rallying worldwide. In New York, the S&P 500 rose 1.2% while the Dow gained more than 830 points.

The S&P 500 rose 41.06, or 1.2%, to 3,550.50 after Pfizer said an early peek at its vaccine data suggests the shots may be 90% effective at preventing COVID-19, though that doesn’t mean its release is imminent. The index at the heart of many 401 accounts had been up as much as 3.9% earlier in the day, though it pared its gain in the last hour of trading amid drops for the Big Tech stocks that dominate the market..

Cruise operators and owners of office buildings and shopping centers were among the market’s biggest winners on expectations people will feel comfortable again riding elevators to a desk or shopping in enclosed stores. Their losses accelerated at the end of trading, which helped drag down the S&P 500’s gains. They also sent the Nasdaq composite to a loss of 181.45 points, or 1.5%, to 11,713.78.

Lies.

The whole world is now against Trump.This kind of good news could release a week ago, absolutely no problem. But how come it is now? As a Chinese,I strongly support Trump,aka comrade Chuan Jianguo to fight till the end against these fence-sitters.

There isn't a working vaccine... until there is. StillInAPandemic

so your saying I should trust BIG PHARMA now Fat chance of that!!!!

Seems the President was correct. Vaccine by EOY and V recovery. Why not tell him Thank You!

Interesting. It was over 1100 at one point. Why the drop off? Buyers making a quick buck and then selling off right away?

So here's the question! If and when the vaccine comes out, will it be free? It's a world wide Pandemic so morally it should be! Let's wait and see if the poor and downtrodden are fiable candidates for the vaccine when they can't afford to pay for one.

.NYGovCuomo has vowed to round up other Dem Governors and stop the distribution of this vaccine! You people are so effing obtuse!

Convenient timing.

Did I miss where Trump took credit for this already, was it in one of his redacted ranting tweets?

Encouraging news: Trump lost

Trump gotta make sure all his buddies make one last buck on the way out
