CNBC's Bob Pisani looks ahead to the day's market action.
Stocks recovered most of their earlier losses on Monday as shares of major technology companies advanced to start the week.
The Nasdaq Composite traded 1% higher and was headed for its sixth straight winning session. Earlier in the day, the tech-heavy average fell 0.8%. The S&P 500 was up 0.5% after falling as much as 0.9% to start the session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average traded 33 points higher, or 0.1%, after dropping more than 200 points.
Facebook rose 0.5% while Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Alphabet all traded more than 1% higher. Microsoft advanced 01% and Intel climbed 1.6%.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced the essential role that technology plays for businesses and consumers, and stoked expectations that the recession could see many of the largest growth companies become even more dominant,” said Salvatore Ruscitti, U.S. equities strategist at MRB Partners.
However, investors remained jittery about reopening the economy too soon, capping the market’s upside momentum after South Korea warned of a new cluster of cases involving night clubs. Singapore and Japan also confirmed new cases. The World Health Organization said that countries who have relaxed lockdown measures have seen a spike in coronavirus cases.
“I think this part of the bounce was easy to forecast, I think what happens from here again depends a lot on Covid stuff,” said Paul Tudor Jones, founder of Tudor Investment Corp., on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “There’ll be a shift in focus from liquidity issues somewhere down the line to solvency issues. If we don’t find a vaccine or a cure, if we don’t find a much better way of testing at scale ... then I think the market’s going to have a much more difficult time.”
More than 4.1 million coronavirus cases have been confirmed globally, with 1.3 million of those infections coming from the U.S, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
The major averages were coming off their first weekly advance in three weeks, with the S&P 500 gaining 3.5% last week. On Friday, investors shrugged off the biggest one-month job losses on record.
“The world very much remains on the path to reopening, a process that will accelerate over the coming weeks,” said Adam Crisafulli, founder of Vital Knowledge, in a note. He added, however, the S&P 500 is still overbought at current levels even as expectations of a gradual resumption of economic activity continue to increase.
“There will be a reckoning around the reopening and linearity narratives (i.e. both are too sanguine right now),” Crisafulli wrote.
The S&P 500 has rallied more than 33% since hitting an intraday low on March 23. That surge has been led largely by mega-cap tech stocks such as Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google-parent Alphabet and Microsoft. Those stocks have all soared more than 20% since late March.
Stocks that would benefit from the economy reopening are also up sharply since then. MGM Resorts has soared more than 70% while Disney is up 27.3% in that time.
