U.S. Stock Markets Make Historical Jump
Posted on October 13, 2008 at 21:57 PM EDT
Dow Jones gains 936.42 points in one day, the biggest single day jump, a rise of 11.08%. The S&P 500 climbs 104.10 points, or 11.6%, to 1,003.32, the S&P's largest daily point jump. The Nasdaq Composite amasses 194.74 points, or 11.8%, to 1,844.25, the third-greatest percentage rise. The Innovation Index Fund gains 30% in one day, the largest percentage increase in one day. What is in store for tomorrow? Can the markets continue this rally? Our outlook is that the U.S. stock markets will rebound further post November elections and post November options expiration. Whether they would finish the year in the positive remains to be seen.
