Stock Market closes up, 1,049 points with the news that Trump is looking bail companies out…

Trump and Republicans seem to be balking at helping people…

US stocks rose sharply on Tuesday, posting a recovery a day after the Dow Jones industrial average’s biggest single-day drop since 1987 — its second-worst plunge in history.

• Dow Jones industrial average: 21,237.31, up 5.2% (1,049 points)
• Nasdaq composite: 7,334.78, up 6.2%

Overnight trading of futures contracts tied to the three indexes hit their so-called upside limit as traders bet on a sharp recovery in Tuesday’s session. The S&P 500 has always rebounded by at least 2% on Tuesdays that follow a 5% decline to start the week, according to Bloomberg. That trend was kept intact.

The Fed has continued to use its arsenal of stimulus measures to buttress the economy from a downturn due to the outbreak.
