Stocks Take A Pounding As Coronavirus Cases Spike

Stock prices took another nosedive Wednesday, amid fears that a spike in coronavirus cases in parts of the Sunbelt could force the economy into another lockdown.

The major stock indexes finished the day down more than 2%, as investors grappled with evidence that the economy may not rebound as fast as they'd expected.Shares of companies that have been especially hard hit by the pandemic, such as homebuilders and cruise lines, lost ground, as did bank stocks. The slide in prices followed reports that California and Florida are seeing a record number of cases, while intensive care units in Houston hospitals are nearly at capacity.said it expects the U.S. economy to shrink by 8% this year and then rebound 4.5% in 2021. The IMF said the global economy will fall by a record 4.9% this year.

"The COVID-19 pandemic has had a more negative impact on activity in the first half of 2020 than anticipated, and the recovery is projected to be more gradual than previously forecast," the IMF said. "The adverse impact on low-income households is particularly acute, imperiling the significant progress made in reducing extreme poverty in the world since the 1990s," the report added.

Oh NO!!! THE RICH PEOPLE'S FEELINGS GRAPH WENT SAD?

WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE STONKS.

I wonder what happened 2 or 3 weeks ago that would cause the infection rate to go up?

There is not going to be economic stability until the virus is under the best control possible, locally and nationally. Business people: demand a better response from state and federal governments.

I just can’t with these headlines. The virus has a 4/6 week incubation so yes, where where people are gathering together it’s going to spike. I feel like the market can do that math. Just because America is bored with the virus doesn’t mean it’s done with America.

It is a terrible virus we do yet understand. Tell the truth they shut the country down caused economic damage because our hospitals were not prepared properly AND THIS IS THE FAULT OF BOTH SIDES ALONG WITH PARTISAN RHETORIC MEDIA PUPPETS. The hospital are the canary in the Cole m
