Today is the second day of major stock index rebounds after significant declines two days ago.  Also today, like yesterday, they were in positive territory all day, from the market’s opening to its closing.

Major stock indices were down moderate to substantial amounts today, especially the Dow, which was down 946.09 points at its lowest.  They were in negative territory all day, from the market’s opening to its closing.  The SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant of the coronavirus, which has been spreading rapidly, is a shock to the economic system and appears to be a significant factor in the recent market downturn.
