Finally, after almost three weeks, the investors have decided to take a break from their selling spree. So far, it seems that the investors are not coming at least for a day or two.
Therefore, the entire stock market has a reason to celebrate and take a breather for a day or two. It is currently not known when the investors regain their selling power and make a comeback.
Real Reason Why the Stock Markets have Recovered a Bit
On Monday, it was observed that the majority of the stocks in the US Stock Markets started showing signs of soaring. There were two reasons why the stock markets started moving in a positive direction after such a long wait.
