Wednesday's Stock Market Mini-Crash

The stock market really built up downward momentum .. adding to losses earlier in the week as market participants continued to look warily at rising COVID-19 case counts in the U.S. and Europe ...

... this downturn took no prisoners and left few stocks unscathed ...

... the three major market benchmarks all moved more or less in lockstep. It wasn't a case in which the Nasdaq rose while the Dow plunged, or the S&P soared while the Nasdaq lost ground. The mood seemed equally dour across the entire market ///

... Gold prices fell ... crude oil prices were down ... Bitcoin dropped ... bond prices were down ...

That might have some impact. Futures are positive. It's expected to be a high number, mostly to rebound from the disastrous prior quarter. Trump will likely be chirping about the number until election day, as if it's representative. Democrats need to have effective counter numbers
