- Will U.S. Investors Continue To Shrug Off Flow Of Bad News? - 8 December 2008
- Likelihood of Big Three Bailout Boosts U.S. Markets - 3 December 2008
Friday’s U.S. stock market gains fueled hopes that the market may finally be bottoming out. While analysts are divided as to whether this is so, it certainly appears that investors are becoming somewhat accustomed to bad news and are trading anyway. At one point in Friday’s trading session the Dow was down 257 points, but rallied and ended the session with a gain of 3.1 percent, or 259 points to 8,635. The S&P 500 rose 3.7 percent, while the Nasdaq added 4.4 percent. The five-day decline for the Dow, S&P 500 and the Nasdaq was 2.2 percent, 2.2 percent and 1.8 percent respectively.
Confirming the general view that U.S. stock markets will continue to be volatile for some time yet, Tuesday saw a rally on Wall Street with the Dow Jones industrial average gaining 3.3 percent, while the Standard & Poor’s 500 climbed 4 percent and the Nasdaq composite index rose 3.7 percent. This follows Monday’s percentage losses of 7.7 for the Dow, 8.9 for the S&P 500 and 9 percent for the Nasdaq composite. The three major U.S. automakers were the center of attention throughout the session, which saw stocks rallying sharply in the early afternoon, only to drop back and then rally through the close.
