Monday, November 2, 2020 – Leading into the week of the presidential election, stocks suffered their worst work and month since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in March. Investors have been unnerved by election uncertainty, surging global coronavirus cases, the imposition of new lockdowns in Europe and fear of similar measures in the U.S., and mixed earnings and rising regulatory pressure against large technology companies. These anxieties overrode any positive impact from the steadily improving economic data over the past few months, highlighted by robust third quarter GDP growth.
For the week, the DJIA, S&P 500, and NASDAQ declined 6.1%, 5.6%, and 5.5% respectively. This marked the second consecutive month of declines for the three major indexes, with each experiencing a loss greater than 2% for October.
