【U.S. stocks】A single decline did not occur, and the market has entered another rising phase.
Hello, Lehman (@Lehman1980).
The U.S. stock market has been steadily rising since October.
Since the last week of September, it has risen for two consecutive weeks.
In the previous article, it was expected that the market would remain volatile for a while, but the VIX index also declined, remaining stable.
Only around the time of President Trump’s coronavirus infection did it dip slightly.
Some prominent U.S. investors consider the September decline to have been an ideal adjustment. (Source: jp.investing.com)
