Monday’s Factors and Events
U.S. stocks finished the holiday-shortened week sharply higher Thursday, with the main indexes recovering about half of their losses that were racked up in late March during the height of fears about the impact of COVID-19.
Investors appeared to shrug off another 6.6 million jobless claims, and a wild ride in the energy sector, to focus on the Federal Reserve’s announcement of new efforts to help fix parts of the financial market and economy debilitated by the coronavirus shutdowns.
