US equity markets extended their solid rebound into a third straight session, shrugging off a weekly unemployment report that predictably made for difficult reading - Dow up +1352-points or +6.38% (to 22,522,1), capping its biggest three day rally (up +20.14%) since 1931. Boeing Co (up +13.75%), Chevron Corp (+10.26%) and Walgreens Boots Alliance (+10.21%) were the leading index constituents with gains of over >10% apiece. The broader S&P500 advanced +6.24% , with the more defensive sectors (Utilities up +8.39%, Real Estate +7.81% and Health Care +6.98%) leading all eleven primary sectors higher. The NASDAQ gained +5.60%. Facebook Inc (up +4.56%), Amazon.com Inc (+3.69%), Apple Inc (+5.26%) Netflix Inc (+6.02%) and Google-parent Alphabet Inc (+5.3%) all gaining more than >3.5%. The words “short-covering” and ‘re-balancing’ were mentioned often in overnight reports (and with month and quarter end approaching). The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq ended the session still down at least 20.7% from their respective all-time highs set last month.
