Stock Market update Oct 4th

We did get a bounce this week, though we gave it back on Friday, on learning that the President had contracted the Covid-19 virus. We'll see what next week brings. Lost in the news flow on Friday was the monthly Jobs report, which actually came up short! 

We are still in a downtrend from the Sep 2nd high, and if it continues we could see it get down to near the 200MA level around 3100 (250 points from here).

Gold was up, Oil was down.  Bonds dropped.
