D&D Note (6.30.2020) ~ Markets Rally With Risk On DOW Ends Best Quarter Since 1987 ~
The major indices all rallied today in a classic risk on feel with the DOW closing out the best quarter since 1987. The S&P 500 saw its best quarter since 1998 while the NASDAQ had its best quarter since 1999.
Keep in mind we had a major crash in the first quarter so gains came from an extremely low base. That was the fastest we had ever plunged into a bear market and followed by the quickest recovery out of a bear market.
The final 10 minutes of trading saw a surge in buying rocketing markets to close at the highs of the day.
