Thought I'd start this to give the forum the latest financial market news in these strange financial times for all us investors. Unemployment is up both sides of the Atlantic yet both UK and US stock are doing surprisingly well and almost at their highest since pre lockdown.
FTSE 100 -
DOWN 6,169.74 -56.03 (-0.90%)
Bad day for all you UK investors. The Footsies like a yo-yo at the moment.
S&P 500 -
UP 3,081.41 UP +28.17 (+0.92%) **Latest Price**
After a mini crash last week, the S&P has rallied. The USA stock market is bullet proof, even with that imbecile Trump in the Oval office. All we need now is for him to say something stupid like - he wants to slow down Coronavirus testing - for the markets to tumble again. It’ll happen either tomorrow or Thursday
Dow Jones Industrial Average -
UP 25,669.88+74.08 (+0.29%) **Latest Price**
US Markets close at 9.00pm GMT so tune in for closing prices
Nikkei 225 UP 22,288.14+293.10 (+1.33%)
Far East is up too.
