Well, almost no news. In an article on Marketwatch earlier today, Canaccord Genuity's chief market strategist Tony Dwyer was asked to comment on unusual stock moves in the market of late, and he noted that stocks appear to be trading right now "based on the coronavirus impact and a probable abnormal economic recovery" from the current downturn. Specifically, "stocks that benefit from a longer stay and work-from-home economy" seem to be doing well.
