Investors are eager to look forward after the devastation the shutdowns have already wrought. Data this week showed the U.S. economy contracted in the first quarter at its sharpest pace since the Great Recession. A study by Goldman Sachs found that initial reopening timelines in other countries have often proven “too optimistic” and recovery is quicker in manufacturing and construction than in consumer services.
In China, for example, “simply opening has not necessarily resulted in a return of consumer buying,” said Rick Meckler, partner at Cherry Lane Investments in New Vernon, New Jersey. That issue is particularly important in the United States, where consumer spending accounts for more that two-thirds of economic activity.
Those sectors have outperformed this week, a potential sign that investors may be taking profits in market leaders such as technology and rotating into areas that have lagged.

Normally I'd say markets can be manipulated. But, I still see 2000 new USA covid deaths daily (no change), fewer and fewer items on shelves at stores and hundreds of businesses shuttering daily. Makes 2008 look like a picnic.
When 1 in 5 Americans (adult age) are unemployed and it’s still at 23,000. It’s a farce and when municipalities aren’t collecting taxes, it going to blow up and burn down. Then the housing market.
With all the reopenings invest in these guys
